David G.: I purchase cookbooks for ideas rather than recipes to blindly follow.
This book delivers. Not all recipes are practical for my style of outdoor cooking but,
the ideas provide much scope for inspiration.
Linda has a couple of cookbooks out - this is my favorite of her efforts.

Charles Foster: I've cooked at least 10 of the meals in this cookbook. Every recipe has been very clearly described and has come out delicious. Several (savory pancakes, scones, sweet potato hash) have been so good I've made them more than once and I've only had the book since Christmas. BUT - many of the recipes would be problematic if camping. This is mainly due to long cooking times; for example the wonderful hash needs over 45 minutes of continuous cooking on a stove. That said this book includes loads of great recipes, is fun to read, has beautiful photos and has opened up my thinking to new flavors and new possibilities. Glad I bought it!

RedDeb: I bought this as a birthday present for a friend who loves camping and he was very pleased with it. It hasn't been used yet as it's mid winter but, apparently, there are lots of recipes in it he's keen to try out!

ForeverYOUNG: I bought this for a remote (virus this year) book exchange. I happen to know there are several people who are campers/hikers in this group and thought this would be the great option. I also added a firestarter to add to the fun. The cookbook offers a lot of full color photos... most of the recipes are pretty fancy. Something you would definitely be planning meals - not much of throw together meals with what you've got. The book is hard backed and ridged spine.

tmgn8: I will use this for at home cooking too! Simple yet tasty recipes. Just the inspiration I needed to get away from cold hot dogs and burnt marshmallows!

Jennifer GuerreroJennifer Guerrero: My daughter wanted to go camping for her birthday, and my husband wanted to go hiking, so I thought we could make a nice twofer out of it. We’re all foodies. Adding birthdays on top of that, I really wanted to make lovely campfire fare, so I grabbed this book. It’s very cool. You will not be bored with the same old campsite (or backyard!) meals. The author’s intent is that you do all the prep right at the campsite. Measuring and dicing out in the woods, where I have no desire to have a full pantry or fridge to work out of, sounded pretty bad. I prefer to keep things as simple as possible out in the woods, so that we can concentrate on hiking, canoeing, and chillaxing, so I did all the prep work at home, and even froze what parts would freeze well to double as ice packs in our cooler. It worked out so well, and I couldn’t be happier with the book.

My thoughts and pics on the dishes we tried:
1) Blueberry Skillet Scones with Lemon Glaze – p 42. These were divine. They are rich, fragrant, and not overly sweet. I prepped the dough and icing in advance and put them in separate sealed bags.
2-5) Savory Oatmeal with Bacon, Cheddar, and Fried Egg – p 49....

M.: Oh wow... this is a realllly nice cookbook. I am planning my next camping trip meal plan with this book and I am so excited to try everything. My camp meals, while yummy, we’re getting a bit predictable.
Update: I’ve now tried a bunch of the recipes... all a major hit. This is by far my favourite camp cookbook.
