Secure TransactionBook Description
The Family Camp Cookbook is a book for everyone who enjoys cooking and eating outdoors. Whether you need to learn how to pack your first cooler or you're looking for kid-friendly recipes to enjoy after a day spent outdoors, you'll learn how to plan, prep, and cook as a family when you don't have the comforts of a full kitchen.
Start out by learning how to build a fire easily at your campsite, or use the sure-fire guides for mastering any grill. With planning lists and prep steps for the recipes, you'll quickly go from unpacking to firing up your first meal. The recipes inside include a wide variety of updated camp classics and dishes you'd never have thought to cook at camp. Cooking techniques range from live-fire roasting and foil-pack cooking to family-style dinners in the Dutch oven. (Yes, you can almost set it and forget it like a slow cooker if you know what you're doing!) Chapters and recipes include:
- Breakfasts cover a whole range of options to start the day right, like make-ahead granola, the best camp pancakes (with topping bar!), Dutch oven coffee cake and biscuits, kid-friendly frittata, chilaquiles, and a tater tot breakfast burrito.
- Lunches and packables: If you're camping, chances are the mid-day meal is fuel away from the campsite. (These ideas are also great for day trips and picnics!). Recipes feature a variety of handhelds like tortillas, farmer's lunch sandwiches, and curried chickpea salad pitas as well as easy-to-eat salads and soups and a few trail mixes and snacks to eat by the handful.
- Dinners: Ah, the main event after a hard day of hiking, paddling, or whatever else floats your boat (or inner tube). Settle in with DIY ramen bowls, one-pan picadillo, naan pizzas and pudgy pie pizzas, Italian sausage burgers, loaded foil-baked sweet potatoes, or a skillet lasagna, among other options.
- Treats: Break out the loaded s'mores, but don't stop there! Build a banana boat, fire up a dutch oven cake, or treat everyone to a campfire cobbler or cracker crust pudding pie.
