This is a travel around the world through your campfire. I don't know if I'd make all these dishes myself but if my camper-neighbors invited us over for dinner...I wouldn't turn it down! The photos are delicious to look at.
What a delightful book!! Whether you're camping, cooking outdoors or even cooking in the comfort of your kitchen there is so much to love about this book! The book itself is well made and the photography is gorgeous! The recipes just seal the deal.
I'm a huge seafood fan, but some of my family are not, so I don't make it as often as I'd like. As soon as I saw the Foil-Wrapped Fisherman's Platter, I knew I had to make it. The dish did not disappoint! The cajun seasoning and andouille sausage gave it a nice kick and other than the potatoes (I should have cut them smaller), everything was done perfectly! Those of us who enjoy seafood loved it! I'm going to give my family a little time and then I'm going to try Campfire Paella. It looks amazing!!
Also on my "to cook" list is the Grilled Sausage Coil with Tarragon, Shallots and Garlic Toast. I just have to find a long sausage--not something I've run across here in South Dakota yet!
There are so many options, many I'd never thought of such as Spinach Feta Quiche Baked in Portabello Shells. What a great idea!! No worries about trying to clean up a quiche pan outdoors--you just eat it! Scones in a dutch oven, Grilled Cauliflower "Steaks" or even Grilled Watermelon Pizza with Arugula and Feta--someone has been thinking outside the box!
The Camp & Cabin Cookbook is a delightful book that I am thoroughly enjoying and highly recommend it. Whether cooking indoors or out (many recipes give directions for both), I'm sure you'll find much to love in this lovely cookbook.
I received a copy of this book from Countryman Press for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Wow! The recipes in this book are impressive. They are far more gourmet than expected. The author is a Persian chef who loves to experiment with flavors from around the world. I am intrigued by some of her blending ideas.
I actually picked up this book from my local library because I am a lousy cook and as much as I'd love to take my family camping soon, the idea of cooking over a fire is thrilling/scary/challenging. (I'm not sure that my family would ever agree to go on a camping trip again if I made them eat hot dogs every night!) I really appreciate the author's explanation of various campfire cooking techniques, cookware options, and helpful tips for prep, cleanup and packing. She's clearly done this before!
If you're a fan of camping and ready to step up your outdoor cooking game, check out this book!
So many yummy recipes! I checked this out from the library for the s'more buffet ideas, but there is so much more here I'd like to try. She gives "Home Kitchen Method" tips for a lot of the recipes, too, if you aren't going camping anytime soon but want a taste.
Feeling like cooking more than the average hotdog/burger combination next camping trip? This cookbook is for you, great recipes combined with gorgeous photography.
