    		•   
    		I am asked every year by those disappointed rafters why they did not place in the winner’s circle for the Dutch Oven Cook off. What is the secret of winning? The answer is simple....aroma and taste, appearance, creativity and preparation!  Recipes can be complicated...or pretty darn easy!  But it's all fun.  Come and show your stuff!  

    Guidelines and criteria for entries:

  • All foods must be prepared on location. No prior preparation. The theory for the competition is to have provisions that can actually be prepared on the river.
     
  • Bring what you need to do the deed - charcoal, utensils, etc.
     
  • The entry should be large enough to serve 15-20 people after judging. The entrant is to provide flatware, plates and napkins. There will be spectators and they will want to sample your creation.
     
  • Have your recipe available for review and distribution in the NWRA newsletter, on this website and at the event.
     
  • The emphasis of the cookoff is originality. Whatever your favorite riverside Dutch oven dish is, please share your talents!

    See you on the river red hot and cooking!
