I've cooked for hundreds of my dearest friends (and a few officers were at the meals, too) in the field over field expedient gear. I'm sure I'll manage the cooking part. ;)

I've cooked wood ash, fermented wild berry, and wild mustard seed bread on a stone.
It gave me heartburn and tasted not so great - but I did NOT die. LOL.(Warning: Do not try this one at home).

Maybe some other kind of seed would have been less painful.

I've built trivets and cranes for cooking over wood fires in fireplaces, I've cooked (reheated) tray rations over an open BBQ pit for 500 GIs, and augmented as required, I've made yeast flat bread on hot rocks.

I really, really like natural gas ranges, and electric (non-convection) ovens. Along with all the other nice tools. I like wood fired ovens for breads.

I can do the hard way... but it sucks to do it right.

I've got wheat and rye in the yard that I put out every year and let go to seed, so I'd rather not do the acorn bread (can.. but it sucks).
