The Backpacker's Cookbook: A Practical Guide to Dining in Style

by Dave Coustick

This is a practical handbook for any hillwalker or camper who wants to do more than simply open a boil-in-the-bag meal or some powdered soup on the hill. The recipes included here show that it is possible to eat hearty meals without having to carry masses of ingredients or be weighed down with cans and packets. Hints on how to use fresh ingredients which can range from fish to mushrooms and what equipment is required are included. Recipes include: seven pastas, chicken and wild mushrooms, corned beef hash, lamb with dill, omlettes, fish cakes, chilli with rice, risotto, saute potatoes, steak and onions, bananas in Grand Marnier, pancakes, peach tart and bananas with chocolate. Hot drinks, winter warmers and hot toddies are detailed, and full equipment and fuel lists, conversion tables and worldwide standards are also included.
