“Spells out how to eat well when camping out.” —The Washington Post “This is the rare book that considers campfire cookery as a gustatory pursuit.” —Sierra, the National Magazine of the Sierra Club Forget freeze-dried astronaut meals and bags of stale, store-bought gorp. Finally, here’s a cookbook that complements the magic of gathering around a campfire and sharing a meal with friends.

If you are into camping, you will certainly appreciate this book. I am sure you have struggled to find and pack the right food for your next adventurous trip. No matter if you are planning to stay in a tent with only wood fire to cook or if you are renting a log cabin in the woods, you will have to use some imagination to create your meals. Sure you could bring cans of beans and a can opener and be set for the entire stay. But who really wants to eat cold beans for several days in a row? Let us help you here by presenting many optimal recipes for you next camping adventure in this wonderful and practical Camping Cookbook. We will use of course ingredients that you can store easy and reheat easy. Other than firewood and fire starter of your choice, we also recommend a few essentials: paper plates, paper cups and/or plastic silver wear. Don't forget to throw the paper dishes in your lighten fire when done using it, instead of the garbage. You can then spear a little wood. Pack a medium pot, some tongs to grab anything you would cook directly on the fire, a spatula, a few pans and a wooden spoon. A medium size cooking grill is also practical to avoid having to place your pots and pans directly on the burning fire. If you love marshmallows, you can pack your metal sticks or skewers or simply find some brand new ones, from the natural wooden area when you arrive on site.

Imagine this: You're at a campsite 10,000 feet up in the Third Mono Creek Recess of the high Sierras. You have no refrigerator, no food processor, no non-stick cookware, no measuring spoons, no pepper mill, no sea salt. How are you going to cook a meal that is imaginative, delightful, and delicious? That's what The Leave-No-Crumbs Camping Cookbook is all about.Rick Greenspan and Hal Kahn show anyone who loves the outdoors how to make homemade pizza, braid challah, wrap poached trout in a sushi roll, and even make dumplings for Chinese dim sum at their campsite. Campers who have never cooked anything more complicated than s'mores might feel uncertain about tackling chocolate mousse in the wild, but Greenspan and Kahn have three decades of experience teaching camp-out cooking. "We've taught people who could barely boil water," they say. And they are reassuring about trailside mishaps. If your grilled trout falls into the fire, take it out, brush off the ash, and rename the dish Cajun Blackened Trout. If the eggs break in their plastic container, make a dinner of crépes, huevos rancheros, and a cake. "The point of wilderness cooking is to have fun," say Greenspan and Kahn, "not worry if the Académie Française is looking over your shoulder." You'll find recipes for soups and stews; fruit, vegetable, and tofu dishes; pilafs, risottos, and polenta; pasta, noodles, and dumplings; sauces and schmeers (that's Yiddish for spreads); pancakes, crépes, and soufflés; pizza and quiche. An entire chapter is devoted to trout, and the book even includes a recipe for chocolate cake. There are instructions and tips for all sorts of of cooking techniques, including dehydrating, baking in coals or on a camping stove, grilling, frying, and steaming. And several pages are devoted to trip planning: how much food to bring, what to look for in a camp stove, how long you can expect your cooking fuel to last. This book is perfect for car campers, backpackers, bikers, canoeists, tail-gaters, and day picnickers who want good food to be part of the outdoor experience
