PIZZA & "Calzone"
I wasn't completely satisfied with his technique of cooking pizza with pots & pans... That's more Camping than Bushcraft... in this second video, we see a lady, using a stone slab to set her pizza on, and cooking it inside an oven made with stones...
However, IMHO, her pizza topping selections doesn't appear to be quite as tasty... and the final product seems to be over cooked...
Enjoy either or both videos, or if you ever want to or have to cook outside in Nature, consider a combination of the techniques to satisfy your needs.

People may be wondering why I am posting these videos...
Believe it or not, we seem to be rapidly approaching an Apocalyptic world... With limited Oil & Gas sources, the risk of electricity blackouts, and probably a lack of Charcoal from your neighborhood store... Humanity may need to go back to traditional Wood burning methods of cooking our foods...
In addition, with Climate change, rising sea levels, wars, and other natural disasters always threatening us... Mass Migration is also probably in our near future as well...
Just think about it... How much can you carry on your person, walking through the wilderness... You most likely won't be able to carry everything you are used to having in the comforts of your home... Yeah, forgot about the proverbial "Kitchen Sink". It's not coming with you, and probably not most of the rest of your kitchen either... Even if you could bring a pot with you, You need food to cook with it... You may have to make a choice. Pots? or Food?... Well obviously the food would be more important... But you still need to cook it at your campsite...
Not trying to shout out that "the end of the world is coming"! No one knows if it is or not. Not even me. It just seems like that the possibility exists more and more every day, that's all...
But if it does, why does our wilderness menu selections have to be so limited?
As we can see... in the videos I've posted so far... as long as you have the ingredients in your back pack, you can have tasty meals on the trail...
Just thought I would share in the fun, and share those methods on how to do that and keep us thinking...

I'll have my brother start cooking for me and mr sunshine if that happens. Maybe not Bushcraft but he can cook anything on a campfire or in a dutch oven. He can make biscuits, cake, pies, anything with meat, etc. He can also do the hunting for the meat.

1.) "Campfire Cones" (Foil)

We've all heard about people making these in hot cars during the summer... But you don't have a car with you when you are hiking through the woods...
How about on a Hot Rock?
Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Just don't overcook them on your awesomely made stone stove.
Yeah, maybe less heat, and flipping them over sooner:

Boiling Water! - Hot Rocks Method
BOIL THE WATER FOR SEVERAL MINUTES!
Boiling the water, makes it safe to drink... And if you have a lot of heated water, you should be able to cook pasta as well.
Make as much "boiled" water as you need, and are capable of storing... Save those "Cooking" stones for more batches later on.
Not sure how good for you, that campfire ash is...
This might work better if you can find a cleaner way to heat the rocks... You know, "Heat without the Ash", getting into your drinking water... Maybe, put your rocks into a stone made oven or maybe put your rocks onto a grilling rock slab, like we've seen in some of the other videos...
EDIT:
Some other videos show people quickly rinsing the hot rocks off in one small container filled with water, and then putting the rocks into the second larger container filled with water... The rock loses a bit of heat, but it keeps the drinking water from being mixed with a lot of ash.

 I cook whole chicken on a Chicken Rocket. Someone gave it to me as a gift. Works great and sturdier than a beer can. I think they went out of business since then though, unfortunately.

Soft Boil An Egg... & Cooking 'homemade' "Ramen Soup"... in a Stone Bowl.
Now, good luck finding a naturally formed stone bowl, that is even close to the clearly man-made one he used... but, these videos are about Bushcraft cooking using the tools found at your campsite, and this video shows that it can be done, if you were able to find a stone bowl... We'll give him a break on that... Maybe there is an easy way to make a bowl from a boulder?
That looked tasty, by the way...

How to make a "burn bowl" from a piece of wood...
You might be able to just carve out a bowl, instead, but if you don't have an appropriate tool, this is an option.

Not really Bushcraft cooking, since this cook uses several metal buckets... BUT... it is a most interesting method of Roasting several Chickens...From the inside of a flaming fire pit.

Making Fresh Pasta Noodles from your pasta dough.
Then cook your noodles by boiling water in your Stone Bowl, or using the Hot Rocks boiling water method.
