About the Cook: Lesley Kershaw Tennessen. Lesley teaches others how to effectively cook flavorsome dishes using her cast iron dutch ovens. Originally design as a cookware capable of baking with, the Dutch Oven has been used to prepare delectable meals before the American Revolution. The heavy cast iron cookware survived the Lewis and Clark exposition, the Oregon trail and even the Cattle Drives as they move Texas longhorns to northern markets. While many types of lighter weight cookware has replace cast iron, the Dutch Oven has had a return of popularity in the last decade. Once use on the open fire pits or over the fireplace hearth before the invention of kitchen stoves, Lesley shows how this tool is idea inside and outside the home.
Although, while Lesley has master the art of Dutch Oven cooking, she continues to improve her culinary skills exploring other techniques which took her to Byers, Texas attending Kent Rollins Chuck Wagon Cooking School. "We learned alot," states Lesley who has been cooking with Dutch Ovens now over ten years. She continued saying, "I got my education in cooking with 'nuclearator' fuel -- the mesquite. Additionally, cooking with various levels of trivets. Then there is the fine art of sourdough and the wonderful Texas twang, of chuckwagon cook Kent Rollins" which I already miss hearing." Lesley highly recommends Kent's school and plans to return again this next year.
Lesley who has taught her classes at "Women in the Outdoors Day" class, and is a member of several Dutch Oven Societies and will be making an appearance near Newburyport, Massachusetts doing the Village Driveway (DOG) Dutch Oven Gathering.
