Canned Food Gourmet: The Pig-Campers Cookbook 1 out of 5 stars.
14 of 19 people found this review helpful.

Truth: couldn't find one single recipe worth copying before shipping the book back. Do you never really drift off into the wilderness beyond the point where your wide bottom is planted on the picnic table in plain view of your SUV? This is the book for you, and thanks. Wished I had not had to give this book the obligatory one star. On the other hand, it should work well to keep all readers out of the wilds and near the road. A blessing in disguise.

This one sets the standard for Backpacking Meal planners 5 out of 5 stars.

This is the one reference book I've read and re-read. I played around with the receipts. It has established a pattern for meal planning which has resulted in making both backpacking, and canoe trips more enjoyable. If you can only afford one book consider this to be the best buy.

THE bible for outdoor cooking 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 6 people found this review helpful.

I've had this book for several years. While preparing for an extended car camping trip, I pulled it out again and was once again amazed at the breadth of recipes. There are recipes, variations of recipes, ideas for recipes, tips, hints, "chef's secrets"--her wealth of ideas is practically awe-inspiring. It's a terrific book just for leafing through and getting ideas. At home, I strive for fresh ingredients and creative cooking; while camping, ease of preparation and ease of clean-up are my primary rules. There are recipes in this book that meet each of those situations, and more than a few that meet both. Sure, there are a few I'll never use (even while camping I can't quite bring myself to eat Spam), but overall there's no better resource. I've bought several other camping cookbooks recently, but this one retains its spot as my most treasured camping cookbook.

GET THIS BOOK NOW! When i need to whip up something other than spagetti and meatballs some nites, I reach for this cookbook to give a recipie for something I probably already got in the house. The results to date are EXCELLENT - stuff I would do again, and we really enjoyed! We will explore ALL the recipies in this book - something rarely done here, mate...so just get it!

Don't be scared by the cover! 5 out of 5 stars.

After trying the unbelievably bland "Healthy Cooking for Two" and so many other "cooking for two" cookbooks (many on which were written in the 80's) and being thoroughly dissapointed, I cam across this gem. These recipes go far beyond the "take two skinless boneless chicken breasts, bake, serve with cornstarch/orange juice reduction" type recipes which haunt other cooking for two books. Those books often get the "quick, easy, for two" part right, but leave your taste buds crying.

This book, on the other hand, is a godsend. Right from the first soup (an asian soup in which they actually take the time to flavor the broth with lemon grass, carrrots, chile flakes and lime juice before straining) I knew I had found a book that is for those of us who love food.

One thing: don't be scared by the cover! Hardly visually appealing, and the only thing wrong with this otherwise incredible cookbook.
