Product Description

Synopsis

This is a practical handbook for any hillwalker or camper who wants to do more than simply open a boil-in-the-bag meal or some powdered soup on the hill. The recipes included here show that it is possible to eat hearty meals without having to carry masses of ingredients or be weighed down with cans and packets. Hints on how to use fresh ingredients which can range from fish to mushrooms and what equipment is required are included. Recipes include: seven pastas, chicken and wild mushrooms, corned beef hash, lamb with dill, omlettes, fish cakes, chilli with rice, risotto, saute potatoes, steak and onions, bananas in Grand Marnier, pancakes, peach tart and bananas with chocolate. Hot drinks, winter warmers and hot toddies are detailed, and full equipment and fuel lists, conversion tables and worldwide standards are also included.

From the Author

Also for Cyclists, Caravanners, Boat Owners
Many of the recipes are ideal for car camping, cycle touring, caravanning, boating etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars camping cordon-bleu!, 3 Oct 2001

By A Customer

Had enough of tasteless, dehydrated food? Fed up with those "crunchy bits" at the bottom of your boil-in-the-bag? Wish you could eat well under canvas?
Forget your Naked Chefs and your Delias, Dave Coustick speaks your language!
Whether you are a frequent world road tripper or an armchair mountaineer, then this is the culinary delight for you. Being a book of perfect proportions i.e. fits in the top pocket of your rucksack, this is the Encyclopaedia Britanica for the Canvas Connoisseur.

The recipes are laid out in sensible order with breakfasts, starters, main courses, pastas, rice, meats and even desserts included. There is also a cook at home and barbecue section.
Dont be fooled however by Nick Nairn's name at the start, his only contribution is the Foreword, but rest assured that Mr Coustick knows his stuff.
The meals are fantastic in their simplicity with full instruction in the art of cooking with one pot. Tip's galore help with cooking pasta and main course at the same time with one stove and a few other surprises show that these are 'field tested' recipes and not just something that Dave (having tried most of his meals I feel that I can use first names) has conjured up in a kitchen.
Even if you don't venture outdoors, then these meals will keep the food lover happy, and the washing up to a minimum!
An excellent feature of the book is the seven day expedition menu planner, which incorporates the recipes and gives ideas for packed lunches as well as providing calorific values to ensure you stay 'topped up' throughout your trip.Chapters covering stove variations and camp cooking make this a well balanced, four course, wannabee chef's delight.
Summing up, this five star guide to camp cuisine provides inspiration for all of us, not only food wise but also in relation to the outdoors world, as each recipe is preceded by a brief, but poetic, description of where the author first tasted it.
For the price of a couple of packets of dehydrated goo, this book is worth it's weight in gold!!
Go on, buy it, your stomach deserves it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Have I missed the point????, 4 Jul 2007

By	Stonie (London UK) - See all my reviews

Having read the reviews I thought this was the book I needed! I backpack in mountain locations and generally remote areas and have found it hard to get decent lightweight meals at an affordable price. This book, despite its name, has not helped at all. I shave off weight wherever possible to make the pack lighter - so why would I want to carry into the mountains a pound of fresh chicken, onions, tins of tomatoes, packs of rice, margerine, tubes of tomato puree, garlic.... and of course, bottles of wine!!!!! This is for the backpacker who may well end the day camping in Asdas car park or who has a sherpa to carry their gear. If you own a dehydrator, some of these meals could well be cooked at home and dried. Overall, if you're a serious backpacker, I doubt that you'll find this book of any use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Handy little book, 23 May 2006

By	The Incredible Bulk "Keh?" (Zummerzet England) - See all my reviews

Well worth the money and a handy little size to carry around. All of the meals appear to have been tried and tested by the author on a camp stove rather than in the comfort of his home although most of the meals would also compliment a kitchen. Useful space and weigh saving techniques also described

I too feel, like another reviewer, that this book is aimed at car-campers and not back-packers. I don't doubt that the recipes are very nice but, when you see that there are ones... Read more
