Through the many years of Camp Dutch oven cooking I have not seen very many recipes which were suitable for those with Diabetes or in need of reduced calorie diets. Although I am not a trained dietician I have cooked many recipes which fit my "Sugar Free" diet requirements. Many if not most of these recipes which I have written in this cook book are for your enjoyment to share with your family. Although some of these recipes to have a small amount of sugar in some recipes, sugar is an essential part of the chemistry in the recipe not for taste but for certain chemical reactions and food changes to occur. Some examples of these reactions would be leavening or rising of breads, another would be tenderizing of meats in certain dishes.

Along with the first "Covered Wagon" cook book which I have written, the recipes here may also be used in your home kitchen as well as out at the camp site in your camp kitchen. Feel free to modify or change the recipes I have written here, as they are a base or beginning guide to give you, the Dutch oven cook, an idea of a dish to prepare for your friends and loved ones. This book is only to get you started in your creative Dutch oven cooking ideas.

Cooking in a Camp Dutch oven or "Covered Wagon" is not complicated and can be easily mastered by any person who enjoys food at home and at the camp site. All you need to do is be familiar with your heat source and more importantly comfortable with the recipe which you are cooking. Remember, don't try a new recipe at camp, practice it at home on the stove or in the oven first then try it in the Dutch oven, then at last, try it using charcoal in your back yard. Remember no matter what you are cooking in your "Covered Wagon" or Camp Dutch oven you need to PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!! Keep your coals hot and may your ovens never cool!

Just reminder in some of the recipes sugar is required for certain chemical reactions to take place in order for the recipe to work. There are also several recipes which are not reduced sugar or suitable for Diabetic diets. These will be marked with an asterisk (*) These recipes are also recipes I use for my Insulin Dependent Diabetes and work for me in glucose control. These may not necessarily work for you.
