"A wonderful book with great recipes. Includes expanded options to incorporate into dining hall feeding to spice up the menu with a few simple touches to make meal time program time. I enjoy the introductions as a reminder and primer for important things you need to know for a novice as well as a great refresher for those of us who haven't done this for a while. Lots of great contributions from scouters. Readers can look forward to some tasty meals!"--Vincent P. Cozzone, Scout Executive/CEO, Venture Crew Advisor Crew 149, Waterloo, Belgium; Boy Scouts of America Transatlantic Council "Christine's and Tim's books are a wealth of cooking and camping knowledge that every novice and experienced camper/hiker should not do without. The recipes are clear and easy to follow and the preliminary "how-to" tips are invaluable for the planning work and safety advice, in order to "Be Prepared" for all possibilities. I think that everyone wanting to learn more about outdoor cooking should run out and get a copy for their cooking library!"--Michael Kaiserauer, Council Training Chair, Boy Scouts of America Transatlantic Council Reviews for the Conners's previous books: Lipsmackin' Backpackin':"Dutch oven, campfire, camp stove and box oven recipes are just some of the many that can be found in this cookbook."
