In this collection of recipes from around the world, spicy means "tasty," not hot. Perfect for campers, RVers, yachtsmen and the backyard cook. Outdoor writers probably spend more time with a camp stove than anyone, and judges for the Florida Outdoor Writers Assoc. named this the BEST BOOK of 1998.

One of the highlights of outdoor recreation is eating around the campfire. Timothy O'Keefe's The Spicy Camp Cookbook is a wonderful compendium of delicious and easy to prepare recipes especially suited to just such occasions. From Greek-Style Meatballs; Dogs on a Stick; and London Broil with Mustard Marinade; to Spicy Oriental Baked Chicken; Sour Cream French Apple Cobbler; and Spicy Popcorn, The Spicy Camp Cookbook will soon become a camping out favorite! In addition to the wealth of recipes, O'Keefe has included invaluable suggestions on repackaging food to save on weight and space; advice on how to plan meals; an Equivalent Measure and Conversion Chart; as well as a thorough and "user friendly" index. If you are going camping, whether on foot, horseback, canoe, or RV, begin your trip planning by browsing through The Spicy Camp Cookbook!

I enjoy reading an interesting cookbook, and Spicy Camp Cooking is filled with great recipes, information on menu planning, spices, cooking tips for camping, and a variety of foods to prepare. From appetizers, salads, stir fry, grilled meals, and desserts, this book has it all. O'Keefe knows that the culinary arts and a taste for spicier foods has been lacking in the outdoor recreation area. That void has been filled with his book. If you like to try new recipes with a gourmet flair, but with a minimum of both time and ingredients, take a look at his book. Spicy roasted potatoes, spicy chicken stir fry, and sour cream french apple cobbler are just a few of the delights that await you when you open this book. Of course, limiting yourself to using this book while camping would be a waste of great food. These can all be made in your own comfortable kitchen. Bon appetit!
