This weekend is a big one in the Dutch Oven world.  At the Utah Outdoorsman Expo each spring, the International Dutch Oven Society (IDOS) hosts its World Championship Cook Off.  Teams from all over come to compete.  Come on out and see some incredible cheffery!

In addition, just north of the cooking area (if they set up like they have in years past), there’s the IDOS booth, with membership information and a demo area.  They’ll be staging classes all weekend long.

Yours truly will be doing a class on the basics of knife use on Thursday, right after they announce the day’s finalists for the cookoff.  I’m excited to be doing it.  I’ll be showing how to shop for a good chef’s knife without breaking the bank, how to keep it sharp, and how to wield it on some chicken and veggies for a nice, easy chicken soup.  Come see how to swing a sword!

For info on location and discount tickets, etc… here’s the announcement on the IDOS website.  Anyone interested in dutch oven cookery should be… (Read the rest of this article at the following article source link for the full story)

Picture the sharp dressed waiter saying:

“It’s a delectable blend of classic and contemporary, of sweet and savory.  A pork roast, smothered in rich sauce of sweet pineapple and tart apricot and kissed with ginger and mustard, served on a bed of creamy pototoes…”

“Oooh!  I’ll have that!”

“An excellent choice, madam…”

Really, this dish did turn out excellent, even extravagant, but it was truly simple. 

Pineapple and Apricot Pork Roast

12″ dutch oven
12 coals below
14 coals above

• 1 2-3lb pork roast, thawed
• 1 15oz can Pineapple chunks, with juice
• 1 18oz bottle apricot preserves, or pineapple/apricot preserves
• 1 handful dried apricots, chopped
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 Tbsp vinegar (preferably cider)
• 1 tsp powdered mustard or mustard seed
• 2 tsp minced ginger
• Salt
• Pepper

I started the coals and got the dutch oven ready, next to my cutting board.  The roast went in the middle.  Everything else just got added in on top and around.  It’s really that easy.

No, really…

I put it out on the… (Read the rest of this article at the following article source link for the full story)

• 4 medium potatoes, halved and sliced
• 2 medium onions, sliced

• ~2 Tbsp olive oil
• Parsley
• Basil
• Oregano
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt
• Pepper

• 4 halves of cornish hens (one per person), thawed
• 4 slices thick cut bacon

I started off by creating the bottom layer (I did all this while the coals were heating up).  I cut the potatoes into large chunks, and the onions into quarters and spread them over the bottom of the dutch oven.  That would serve to elevate the hen halves above the drippings.

Then, I mixed all of the ingredients in the second set.  I played it pretty loose with the amounts.  Just shake some in the bowl and stir.  Taste it and see.  I … (Read the rest of this article at the following article source link for the full story)

It's simple enough to grab food on the road, but you never know what you are really going to get unless you plan ahead. Sure you can pull over and eat at a chain, there are always plenty of MacD's, KFC's and Wendy's to satisfy even the biggest and hungriest of kids, but there is nothing worse than looking at another 10 hours on the road and enjoying that peculiar sensation which comes from digesting fast food!

The fact is growing fruit and vegetables yourself is so healthy because you surely know what has gone into the product and what you are eating. In addition to that, there is almost nothing as nice as growing something with your own hands and seeing your hard work and sweat turning into something that you can appreciate.
