Book Description
We all look forward to spring and summer, when the sun returns, the blooms bud, and we feel the urge to reacquaint ourselves with the great outdoors. But camping and hiking trips, whether day treks or week-long journeys, beg an age-old question: what to bring along to eat? Chef in Your Backpack proves that camping and hiking meals don't always have to be about stale sandwiches and bagged veggies. With a little ingenuity and know-how, and a bit of advance planning, you can be dining in high style around the campfire.
Nicole Bassett is an outdoors enthusiast who has been developing and preparing outdoor meal recipes for years. She believes in the notion that a great yet easy-to-make meal is not only more satisfying, but is more nutritious and energizing for your hikes and treks. She also offers great tips for keeping your food safe from spoilage and not-so-friendly creatures, as well as nifty ideas like using film canisters to store spices, and using your camping mug as a measuring cup.
Nicole offers a wide-range of meal ideas, from power breakfasts to soul-nurturing dinners, all of which can either be prepared in its entirety outdoors, or with a little preparation at home before you go:
• Breakfast coucous• Shrimp and squash penne
• Sweet and spicy popcorn
• Curry wraps
• Strawberry lemon bars
• Ziti with mushrooms and peppers
• White bean dip
• Risotto without the pain-o
• Orange lentil salad
• Cranberry rice pilaf
• Jerk tuna and chickpea salad
• Caribbean black bean soup
With this Chef in Your Backpack, camping and hiking never tasted so good!

This review is from: Chef in Your Backpack: Gourmet Cooking in the Great Outdoors (Paperback)
My kids only let me cook when they want to get the flies out of the house--that's bad news! Several times I ran out of food high up in the mountains. With my then 12 year old son, once, I had to shoot frogs and cook the legs over dried cow pies. So I appreciate this book. In addition to showing you how, you get to prepare--which does almost the same thing as the back pack trip itself--removes and clears the mind from most ordinary stress of city life. No job worries, no news of crime, no pressing bills, no disputes. Just hike,enjoy and because of this book, EAT and enjoy. Before this book, I thought Alredo and Penne were two guys who lived in the Rockies. Ms Bassett has made me wiser,
Listmania!
