Review

Turn your road trip into a culinary experience. Quite simply, this book is destined to reach camper van bible status... Ideal for families, singlies, foodies, festival-goers and outdoor lovers - you'd have to have a screw loose not to love this book. (adventure-cornwall.co.uk)

His charmingly eccentric account of life on the road, one delicious recipe at a time, is set to become a modern outdoor classic... it occurs to me that Martin, who pulses with energy and Boy's Own enthusiasm, was made for television. Perhaps he could be sponsored by the British Tourist Authority, as he leads viewers down highways and byways to soak up the scenic beauty - while feasting on breakfast frittata with bacon. Many of the recipes would work just as well for a 'tented' camping holiday but the vintage wheels lend the whole occasion a certain grooviness. (YOU Magazine Mail on Sunday)

This is not just a recipe book but a hugely practical, funny, inspiring introduction to camper van living. A cult book in the making, if I'm not mistaken. (Fiona Beckett www.foodandwinefinds.blogspot.com)

Cook up a storm with a delicious outdoor on-the-go lunches and suppers. All you need is one pan, a cooker ring and a selection of seasonal ingredients (Country Homes & Interiors)

'This inspirational handbook tells you how to cope during a weekend spent on four wheels with nothing but a fire and a two ring stove to cook' (Telegraph Magazine)

'This is not just a cookbook, it's a bible for camping' (allaboutyou.com)

About the Author

Martin Dorey is a writer and surfer. He lives on the North Devon coast with his wife and daughters and Pootle, a 28-year-old Volkswagen camper van.



When he's not fixing up Pootle for weekends away, mucking about with the kids, catching waves or pretending to work, he goes fishing. He is very, very bad at it. His family understands. No one expects sea bass for tea any more.



Sarah Randell is Food Director of Sainsbury's Magazine and previously worked as food editor for thirteen of Delia Smith's cookery books.



Sarah is contributing recipes and expert guidance on the food content for THE CAMPER VAN COOKBOOK. Having recently learned to sail, she has had plenty of practice cooking in a small space on two rings.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book, clearly written by an enthusiast 21 May 2010
By Graham Hand
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the real deal for those who like to cook in the great outdoors.

The author has a real enthusiasm for his subject which comes across throughout the book. If you're not a surfer, or a camper van owner, don't be put off. As long as you like cooking outdoors and enjoying the great British countryside there will be plenty in this book for you.

I particularly like the sections on foraging around the coastline as it adds a new dimension to the outdoor cookbook.

It also has plenty of ideas for things to do and ways of keeping the kids entertained too. Finally it also has a great section on the 10 best excuses to use when you don't make it to work on Monday, ideal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for camper vans 16 Jun 2010
By S. Critchlow
Format:Paperback
This is a lovely, well presented book which is an inspiration for anyone wanting to eat al fresco. I can recommend the recipe for bloody marys and the quesadillas - good for a BBQ. The other hints and tips for outdoor living have also been useful - I can vouch that excuse number 3 for why you cannot make it back to work really worked - I will give number 5 a go next week!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite enough of what it says on the cover... 3 Sep 2010
By Jules WH
Format:Paperback
I bought this book as a boat owner, looking for one-pot recipes to cook on board. The recipes and ideas which were there are excellent... I loved the lists given; the kitchen basics was genius. I had expected more about the food and less about the lifestyle so for me the balance was wrong. However, the sub-title of the book does suggest it's more of both, so perhaps it was my haste in buying it.
I loved Michael Dorey's writing style so it was a joy to read. Almost worth considering buying a camper van to emulate those heady British summer days! The photos and layout I also really enjoyed - just would have like more recipes. I supplemented with an online search to complete my recipe library. The book has remained on the boat, which is testimony in itself.
