From Booklist

Travelers who ply the nation's highways in their recreational vehicles need to stick to cooking requiring limited amounts of fresh ingredients, a controlled range of staples, and a small number of pots, pans, and appliances. Joyce Ryan's America's Best RV Cookbook addresses just such an audience. She starts with an inventory of foods and equipment useful in an RV and gives sound advice on choosing things adaptable to the limited amount of space available and to compact appliances. Recipes then make use of these limited resources to produce all-American meals heavy on Italian and Tex-Mex favorites. Many of Ryan's more complex recipes are meant to be assembled at home and frozen for future on-the-road meals. She also presents plenty of snack items designed to limit travelers' excessive reliance on fast-food outlets. Mark Knoblauch

RV's are noted for their built-in kitchens -- and the limited space accommodations those kitchens are restricted with. In addition to 381 simple and delicious "RV kitchen friendly" recipes, America's Best RV Cookbook: The Complete Guide To RV Cooking also includes 108 "no-fuss" menus; equipment and supplies selection advice; substitutions and equivalents; metric conversions; dealing with limited storage space; cooking in challenging environments and climates; and even how to cope with quirky RV ovens and refrigerators! If you have an RV, then you have an RV kitchen, and you need your very own copy of Joyce Ryan's America's Best RV Cookbook!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for the small RV, December 8, 2009

By 

Book Enthusiast (New Mexico) - See all my reviews

This review is from: America's Best RV Cookbook: The Complete Guide to RV Cooking (Paperback)

If you have a 40-foot RV with all the comforts of home and are a full time RVer, then maybe this book is for you. For anyone with a small RV, it is a waste of money. Yes, she lists equipment (16 different baking pans, coffee grinder, etc)and supples (7 extracts in addition to vanilla, hearts of palm and on and on). "My basic equipment list includes 36 items" but she doesn't bother to indicate what they are from the two page list. Who needs 7 pages of appetizers and a half dozen recipes for yeast breads? I would be better served using my old time tried Betty Crocker or BH&G cookbooks. Just because it says RV in the title, does not make it truly a RV cookbook for most of us.
