Book Description

January 1996

Creative, easy-to-follow recipes for the outdoor adventurer, with full-color photography.

Goodbye to mundane, expensive, freeze-dried camping food and welcome to tasty, environmentally conscious, inexpensive dishes. Seasoned outdoor cook Sierra Adare spices her creative and easy-to-follow recipes with Western culinary history and first accounts that are informed by the traditions of the trail. Inside the book are lists of grocery items you can buy beforehand at your local store, along with instructions to dehydrate your own food to avoid the high prices of outdoor markets. Your stomach just isn’t prepared for the great outdoors without Backcountry Cooking—your number one source for easy camp cooking, recipes adaptable for all types of camping, and the best ideas for making your next outdoor adventure remarkable and delicious. 70 full-color photographs

1.0 out of 5 stars not as good as you'd think, June 30, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Backcountry Cooking: Feasts for Hikers, Hoofers, and Floaters (Spiral-bound)
Very few of these recipies were actually usefull. this book focuses more on the authors observations of the outdoors than actual cooking. Most of the recipies involved lots of fishy tasting ingredients that you would not want to find out that you were stuck eating miles away from any re-supply areas. Good if you REALLY like lots of salty fishy flavors.

3.0 out of 5 stars Expedition cooking...., January 28, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Backcountry Cooking: Feasts for Hikers, Hoofers, and Floaters (Spiral-bound)
This book focuses on backcountry cooking en masse for a group of 4 or more. I travel either by myself or with small groups, in which each member brings his own food and does his own cooking. This book was not very helpful to me.

By A Customer
This review is from: Backcountry Cooking: Feasts for Hikers, Hoofers, and Floaters (Spiral-bound)
To quote from my interview, "If Captain John C. Fremont would have had a copy of BACKCOUNTRY COOKING... he wouldn't have eaten his saddle." And, "Adare has perfected the technique to cooking along the trail. I recommend it to all those who love to tramp the great outdoors." Bob Wiseman, author HEALTHY SOUTHWESTERN COOKING
