Description

Forget freeze-dried astronaut meals and bags of stale, store-bought gorp―finally, here's cookbook that complements the magic of gathering around a campfire and sharing a meal with friends. From the IACP Award-winning authors of The Picnic, which brought taste and style to eating outdoors (in the daytime), comes its companion, for leaving civilization behind and dining under the stars. A mix of dishes to make ahead and meals to cook on-site, The Campout Cookbook includes more than 75 recipes for wood-fired skillet pizzas; backcountry stews and chilies; fire-roasted vegetables and cast-iron breads; unexpected dips, jerkies, and high-energy bars; breakfasts to satisfy that yawning hunger that comes from sleeping in the fresh air; s’mores, of course (including Vanilla Bean Dream Marshmallows & Co. and Dark Chocolate Raspberry Caramel Fire-Ban S’mores); and cocktails, coolers, warm libations for chilly nights, and a Blood Orange Bug Juice. Plus there’s inspiration and know-how for every avid camper and enthusiastic neophyte: How to find a suitable campsite and build a campfire specifically for cooking over, and how to keep it going. Stargazing for city slickers. A troubleshooting guide. And the definitive packing list and camp kitchen essentials. Just add a few scary stories for a truly memorable campout. “Spells out how to eat well when camping out.” ―The Washington Post “This is the rare book that considers campfire cookery as a gustatory pursuit.” ―Sierra, the National Magazine of the Sierra Club Read more

  • Great recipes for outdoors!
Format: Hardcover
Great book! Great recipes.

  • Fun "Gourmet" camping cookbook and more! 5 stars plus!
Format: Hardcover
I recently purchased 3 highly rated (on Amazon) camping cookbooks, as an excited inspiration for next summer's Airstream trip to the US East coast and Northeast Canada. Can't wait!! This, by far, was my very favorite camping cookbook. The intro reads, "for survivalists with standards" and that is the key to this wonderful book. I love the outdoors, camping has always been a favorite activity since my husband and i got married many moons ago. Nowadays, my friends and I always "gourmet camp" and if you are into that, this book is for you! It is SO much fun, besides recipes (trail snacks, adult beverages, sides, breakfasts, main meals) it has games and many useful real suggestions for things to make your camp experience perfect! I laughed out loud reading many of the chapters, its like reading your funniest girlfriend's (or guy friend's) very useful and very original camping suggestions. Just loved it so much I'm purchasing 4 more copies to send to my camping buddies..its January here but this book inspires laughs and dreaming about that next camping trip.. it is truly wonderful. If you enjoy the outdoors and camping..but still enjoy your yummy food and drink, this book is for YOU! It's more than just a cookbook...its a whole camping experience. It's a little getaway. Plus, the chapter on different combos to make S'Mores... priceless! Just loved this book. Cannot wait to try out the recipes and cooking techniques. Nothing too complicated and lots of great advice. The recipes look easy and amazing combinations. Happy Camping! ... show more

  • “For Survivalists With Standards”
Format: Hardcover
I camp as often as I possibly can, basically as much as life and money will allow me. I’m no expert or camping guru, especially when it comes to actually making meals, so for as cheap as it was during Prime Days, I figured what the heck I’ll get this book. Holy smokes! This book is awesome! It totally exceeds all of my expectations for a book of this kind. Not only does it go over cooking recipes for every kind of occasion or mealtime you may find yourself while camping, but also discusses a lot of preparation for camping in general before you leave the house! The leather jacket is absolutely amazing too. I have 2 camping trips coming up before summer is over and I am definitely referring to this not only for cooking but also to go through and revitalize my packing lists and kitchen gear. So happy I got this. ... show more

  • Feels great in your hands and is an overall good reading experience
Format: Hardcover
Listen, I'm just gonna be real here.... I saw this book at a local bookstore and was absolutely drawn to the cover. It just feels nice and has almost a wood grain texture! I wouldn't even necessarily call it a cookbook, its much more than that. There are stories and other helpful camping hints in there as well. Some of the recipes seem a bit much for me, as I'm normally a scrambled eggs, hot dogs, and marshmallows type of camper, but I could see that with this book and some proper planning, it would be a great thing to use prior to and on a camping trip with the family. I docked 1 star simply because like I said the recipes seem a bit weird to me and a little ingredient heavy, but the book is still a good value and a good reading experience. ... show more

  • Super cute book!!
Format: Hardcover
I originally bought this cute cookbook from a local kids museum that sits across from a campground by the beach. It has a cute retro vintage vibe to it with the illustrations. The recipes all look interesting and delicious. Don't listen to the naysayers reviews that state the recipes are too California yuppy (eye roll) or complicated, or ingredients aren’t feasible or accessible. Like the review that states grocery stores don't have lamb or jicama? All the ones I go to, do! But yes, maybe Walmart won’t carry those items. And Yes, the book isn't your standard easy campfire recipes. But thats what I happened to love about it. I have other cookbooks for just that. So after falling in love with this cookbook I decided to purchase one for my foodie sister. She travels in a very nice RV. And even though that’s considered more glamping than camping! I knew she would appreciate it. I found the identical book on amazon and for wayyy less than the museum. Even though I didn’t mind paying the inflated cost at the museum because it goes to a good cause (keeping the small museum afloat) Buy this book! Its a super cute gift for the camper/traveler/cook! ... show more

  • Beauty & Brains !
Format: Hardcover
You’re not supposed to judge a book by it’s cover... but look at this thing! It’s gorgeous! I have it sitting out anywhere in my home for a little flair ;) . BETTER than that... it’s chock full of useful information! Keep in mind some recipes are for the camp out and some are for making at home to take with you (good lasting camp food). Someone who hasn’t been past the beginning of the book may not know better. I like that it’s in sequence and talks about pre-camp. The recipes for camp also have an at home method so you can enjoy these anytime. I’m a sucker for illustration and these are gorgeous. This book is just art to me... I haven’t gone camping in a while but this helps me get in the mood when I’m getting a craving for it. LOL i might need a new copy if I DO go camp soon because I really don’t want a speck of dirt on this beautiful thing. Such an art piece, I love it so much ... show more
