Book Description

June 1, 2011

Camping fare typically includes burgers and hot dogs, and while these are certainly easy, get ready to rethink the cuisine that can be savored over the open flame. With recipes like Spiced Currant Scones, Maple-Glazed Salmon, and Tomato Tarte Tatin, Huck and Young celebrate delicious food and the great outdoors. They also include step-by-step instructions for activities such as stargazing, foraging for woodland berries, and minding one's fruits of the sea (or, how to clean a fish). Campfire Cookery proves that the campfire can not only be a blissful escape but a true culinary destination.

Praise for Campfire Cookery:


“Co-authors Sarah Huck and Jaimee Young provide the inspiration and wherewithal to make campfire cooking civilized and delicious.”

Wall Street Journal 

“Get inspired by the outdoor culinary flair.”

InStyle

 

"Sarah Huck and Jaimee Young were wise enough to put a photo of the old-fashioned campfire favorite on the cover of their new Campfire Cookery. They also were wise enough to include campfire cocktail recipes to wash the s'mores down." 
-USA Today 

Campfire Cookery is one of those cookbooks you need to buy two of.”

—Edible Brooklyn


“The beauty of this book is that it evokes a simpler era when things weren’t automatic, when all cooking required the primal flame, and when cooking and eating was more than just about the food.”

—Epicurious.com

1.0 out of 5 stars Strange material included February 7, 2012
By ejfalke
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I wanted to post this information because if someone had, I wouldn't have purchased this book and then needed to return it. While the recipes are certainly "adventuresome" and gourmet, and a host of useful reference information is included, beware of the "other curiosities." This includes information on hosting spiritual seances (!), using tarot cards, hypnotic techniques, gothic story tropes, etc. It was just too strange and inappropriate for a cookbook - especially one that I purchased as a gift for my husband - a great cook and outdoorsman. Wanted to pass it on in case knowing it helps anyone else make a decision.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "Campy" Adventuresome Book! May 6, 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I received my book a few days ago and haven't been able to put it down. What fun! What food! These recipes work whether you're camping in the forest, on your backyard patio or in the warmth of your own aroma-filled kitchen. First of all...7 different ways to prepare S'mores with homemade marshmallows and "Graham" crackers. I can't even begin to describe how incredible this treat becomes. That's worth the price of the book alone. Recipes for all hours of the day...from breakfast to tea time to cocktail hour to dessert. Even a chapter on "After the Repast"...activities for all ages once the fire dies down (or the dishes are done if you're in your own kitchen). And...not your ordinary activities. I can't wait for my next evening patio gathering with friends to create our own gothic ghost stories using the handy chart that provides suggested settings, characters and phenomena which gives you just enough hints to spin a truly fun and magical tale. One more comment...page 100 Irish Porridge. Dried fruit soaked in Irish Whiskey! Added to the porridge! Topped with honey and cream! OMG! Maybe I really will get out of my kitchen and go on a camping adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding in their campground! September 11, 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've not gotten completely through this one but this looks like a really excellent book. Very well thought out and put together. Just the temperature chart for Dutch ovens is worth the price...ok, that may be a little hyperbole but it really is a very good book. Unless you've been a "cookie" for the last 30 years, if you are cooking for 2 or 20 and you don't have a Viking 6 burner handy, this must be in the collection of camp cookbooks.
