Product Description
In 1977, best friends and food lovers Phyllis Hinz and Lamont Mackay set out in a Volkswagen van to begin a nine-month culinary journey around Europe. After settling down to successful careers as restaurant owners, they hit the road again in 1998, this time to explore North America in a forty-foot motor home, seeing-and tasting-all that it has to offer.In RECIPES FROM THE ROAD, Phyllis and Lamont introduce the regional dishes and friendly folks they'¬?ve encountered traveling the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Finding ingredients in farmers' markets, roadside grocery stores, and sometimes on the end of a fishing line, the Cooking Ladies present 100 RV kitchen-tested recipes that anyone anywhere can cook on any stove.Phyllis and Lamont also share anecdotes from life on the road: you'¬?ll meet people like Steve Watson, a biker who sells twelve-inch cinnamon buns in the Yukon, Canada, and an Amish group that serves taco salad to RV owners passing through Goshen, Indiana. A treat for RVers, armchair travelers, and anyone with an appetite for adventure, RECIPES FROM THE ROAD proves that good eats and good company are just a bend in the road away.A collection of profiles, stories, and more than 100 recipes collected during the travels of Phyllis Hinz and Lamont Mackay, aka, the Cooking Ladies.Features such recipes as Shrimp in Beer Batter from Campbell River, British Columbia; Orange Spice Chicken Drumsticks from Fort Myers, Florida; and Lemon Marshmallow Pie from the Rio Grande Valley of Texas-and the stories behind the recipes.The Cooking Ladies are constantly touring North America; they post their weekly and monthly travelogue in select magazines and newspapers.Includes more than 200 full-color photographs of people, places, and food.Good Sam RV Club has more than one million members.

Cookbook lovers must have this!, July 26 2005
By L. Richart "cookbook lover" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cooking Ladies' Recipes from the Road: Stovetop Creations and Travel Adventures (Paperback)
After watching "The Cooking Ladies" quickly prepare a delicious-looking veggie pasta dish along with a unique version of a chicken Caesar salad entrée during a WGN News' lunchtime cooking segment, I felt compelled to get their cookbook.
Good move on my part! Love, love it! EACH and EVERY recipe has a color photograph of the finished product as well as an entertaining description of the inspirational origin of the dish. What a concept for us visual-craving cookbook readers!
The eclectic recipes come from their travels to Europe and over most of the North American continent, with a just a touch of Caribbean, Asian, and South American influence. I found many healthy, low fat, low carb dishes along with scrumptiously decadent, calorie-laden recipes for special occasions.
The travel stories were a unexpected bonus. I enjoyed reading about some of the exotic locales that most of us will never visit, and the interesting people the spunky duo have encountered over the years.
Get this colorful cookbook if you want more than just a cup of this and a pinch of that! The recipes are intriguing, yet not intimidating. Lots of fun, too!
