Inspired by foods from all over the world and the guiding principle of “if you wouldn’t eat it at home, why eat it in the backcountry,” Laurie Ann March has created over 200 lightweight, taste-tested recipes to turn an ordinary backcountry outing into a gourmet adventure. In addition to the recipes, March covers menu planning, recipe creation, and meal planning for families and larger groups. Color photograph insert.
Laurie Ann March is an avid backpacker, hiker, and wilderness canoeist. So much so, that she has turned her passion into her day job as owner and editor of the popular e-zines www.OutdoorAdventureCanada.com and www.WildernessCooking.com.
Laurie started her backcountry cooking adventures as a child camping with her big brother and mentor Bruce. As a preteen, she took a 4-H outdoor living course that taught her the basic foundations of roughing it, as well as how to preserve foods through dehydration. She hosts wilderness cooking workshops, where she teaches and supports students learning the special skills needed to prepare food for their wilderness excursions. Her first book, A Fork in the Trail, has been enjoyed by backpackers and paddlers around the globe.
Laurie is not just an author and outdoorswoman; she is also a mom, wife, artist, and photographer. Laurie lives in Brant County, Ontario, Canada, near the picturesque Grand River and the Great Lakes.
