Product Description

Product Description

" . . . a book that will appeal to everyone who has ever choked down the pre-packaged, bargain-basement camp food (or gone bankrupt buying the good stuff)." --Canoe & Kayak

. . . if you're on the lookout for a way to bring real meals to the field, [this book] might have the answer." --Field & Stream

Life in the outdoors revolves around food--cooking it, eating it, packing it, carrying it. We even fantasize about it, especially after a week of eating store-bought provisions. This book is all about fulfulling those food fantasies and avoiding those expensive disappointments. Trail Food tells you how to remove water from food, to make it lighter and longer-lasting, without removing its taste. Learn to plan menus and prepare meals just like the ones you left behind, using fresh foods from your garden or market, prepared and seasoned the way you like them.

Why fantasize when you can have the real thing?

Book Description

This book is a revised edition of The Lightweight Gourmet. The outdoor person's complete guide to drying, preserving, and preparing light-weighing foods. More than 50 field-tested recipes emphasize fresh, healthful, and delicious dishes that can be prepared quickly and easily.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hopelessly Impractical, 17 Dec 2008
Kesselheim's approach is to dry ingredients at home, than carry them into the field and use them to prepare meals. This results in having to also haul all the kit for preparation such as chopping board, knives, spatula etc. The other result is that most of the cooking times are far too long unless you have huge quantities of stove fuel (one of his soup recipes takes 1 hour to cook in the field for heaven's sake!)

Overall, the boook does not contain much information and there is far too much padding in the form of recollections of trips and irrelevant line drawings. 5 of the 88 pages are given over to plans for making 2 homemade dehydrators - who is going to bother doing that?

If you are a genuine backpacker, look elsewhere for inspiration.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellant and Concise - Worth Every Penny, 24 Oct 1998
By A Customer
KESSELHEIM knows how to appeal to a useful purpose and makes a simple process an ease to work with. His book is what everyone should have on their bookshelf or carry a copy in your backback with some blank paper and pencil to plan future trail meals. You don't need glitz to be good. Christopher D. BORDEN - RCMP - Northern BC
