Excellent cookbook full of simple, super nutritious, delicious-looking recipes that you can make ahead and pack or make at your campsite. The recipes are designed for backpackers and there's lots of tips on how to reduce your carry weight and still eat well.

Since this week I'm traveling with kids who aren't quite so into super healthy foods, I plan to try these recipes as a way to liven up and add some better nutrition to my lunchbox meals and snacks at work.

Highly recommended for anyone trying to work more simple healthy food into their diet, and especially for backpackers!
