If you're feeling adventurous, fire-cooking is absolutely for you.
Stevenson and her coauthor Marnie Hanel are big fans of cooking all kinds of food using embers, especially those last lights of a roaring campfire. You can cook directly on the embers , or you can layer embers beneath and on top of a lidded Dutch oven to turn it into, well, an oven. “One of my favorite cooking memories is the first time Jen and I lifted the lid of our cast-iron Dutch oven and unveiled a perfectly roasted chicken,” Hanel tells me.
