1.0 out of 5 stars Impractical for many RVers, October 3, 2004

By

This review is from: The RV Cookbook: Over 100 Quick, Easy, and Delicious Recipes to Enjoy on the Road (Paperback)

I found this book totally impractical and a waste of money for cooking in a small RV. It might be okay for the person with a 40 foot motorhome with a complete kitchen and all the comforts of home. Many of the recipes contain ingredients that I don't even keep at home. Access to perishables and fresh produce is assumed although the authors mention cooking in the middle of the Mohave Desert in the Introduction. Who takes cloth napkins on a camping trip (and where do you wash them)? A much more useful book is "Easy RV Recipes: Easy Recipes for the Traveling Cook" by Ferne Holmes.

As an experienced cook and new RV owner, I was excited to see this book advertised and quickly bought a copy. However, I was quickly disappointed.

The authors began well, by giving tips for stocking your RV's pantry. But how many of us would take such things as molasses, seeds, balsamic vinegar, and tarami? The picture of the authors show them in a small VW Eurovan camper. There just isn't room in a small RV for such space-wasters. I would suggest starting with salt, pepper, and sugar, and expanding from there. Also, many of the recipes require an oven. Small RVs (like mine) don't have an oven.

To at least give the book a fair try, I picked out what I thought were the five best recipes to try on my family. With the exception of one, they voted thumbs-down on all of them, and asked me not to make them again!

In fairness, all of us have our own favorites, and this cookbook might appeal to those who frequent health food stores and have a lot of time on their hands to experiment. But this cookbook really seems to be about two people who just wanted to publish a cookbook of their favorite snacks and dishes, and saw the "RV" title as a good way to market it.

In my opinion, you will be much better off to examine your own recipe files for family favorites, considering how to pull them off in a carefully-planned RV, with minimal fuss. I've tried this method since we purchased our RV, and have received rave reviews from the family. If you can, skim through this book first at a local bookstore to see if the recipes might fit your taste.

Of course I knew the recipes would be great- tasty and easy to prepare but I was so pleasantly surprised with the "Secrets to Shopping","The Tips for a Weekend Trip" and the section on the Extraordinary Equipment. I found the Glossary to be very helpful, also.There are many innovations in this cookbook and I especially like the "road sign" tips that appear with many of the recipes.
