A complete guide to easy, light weight recipes for the trail 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.
This compact, easy-to-carry pocket guide contains dozens of light weight, healthful recipes for the backpacker as well as tips on selection of utensils, stoves and fuels, advice on purifying water and general cooking suggestions. Well-tested recipes show the outdoor cook how to package and prepare meals using inexpensive freeze-dried ingredients available from supermarkets. The contents covers breads on the trail, breakfasts and beverages, soups and chowders, one dish meals and desserts. In addition the authors have prepared a section on long-lasting foods that may be prepared at home and taken on the trail. Other chapters are devoted to preparing a fisherman's catch and cooking in a base camp where utensils unsuitable for back packing--such as Dutch ovens--can be used. Three appendices contain a suggested menu for four backpackers for four days on the trail, a list of the weight of the ingredients and a shopping guide. A thoroughly useful guide to making tasty, easily prepared meals on the trail. A handy book for any wilderness traveler.
Editorial Review:
Camp Cooking is a concise, practical backpacker's cookbook featuring lightweight, nutritious, quick-cooking fare for simple camp stoves. Featuring Trapper's Oat Bread and other trail breads, one-dish meals like Creamed Salmon and Peas with Potatoes, and a host of breakfasts, soups, entrees and desserts, Camp Cooking also includes thorough advice on the choice and use of camp stoves and an abundance of practical campsite cooking techniques. A handy Appendix lists sample menus, ingredient weights, and a shopping list.
