I haven't written it yet  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Seriously though the best book I have ever read is Jack Absolams Outback Cooking In the Camp Oven. One on eBay now at a really good price http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Outback-Cooking-In-the-Camp-Oven-VG-Q-Copy-Qikpost-/360688449438?pt=AU_Non_Fiction_Books_2&hash=item53fab4f79e

This book is the one that set me on the road to camp oven cooking.

The recipes are very old Australian and I don't think I have ever cooked that many either however if you read the book and can grasp the principles that he is talking about I doubt you will ever go wrong.

As far as recipes go - at the end of the day you should be able to cook anything in a camp oven that you can at home so just use the recipes for food that you like eating.

Cheers

Taken your advice and have purchased the book with a bit of luck will get it when we get home at the end of the month.

Well done.

I have an autographed copy from Jack in my library :)

Tommo's cookbooks have some good ideas [smiley=cowboy.gif]

My addiction to cast iron is almost abated.
I now have an addiction to cookbooks.
Recently purchased two on ebay, got one at the camping and Caravan Show and the last as a gift
