Bask in the beauty of the forest (or your backyard) with the Men with the Pot as you create memorable, mouthwatering meats, rustic bakes, and more over your campfire or on your grill.
People often ask the Men with the Pot “what’s behind the name?” The answer is when they started out, they were just two men with one pot who wanted to do something big ! Their aim was to light a fire and inspire others to follow the same path— cooking whatever brings them joy .
Kris and Slawek’s eye-catching videos have done just that, propelling that humble idea into a concept reaching tens of millions of fans every month.
Men with the Pot Cookbook brings that same spirit to the page, with their first collection of recipes in print. Chapters and recipes
Throughout the book, you’ll also learn some bushcraft , from lighting a fire to making a campfire spit or cooling rack from found wood. And of course, there are plenty of photos from their forest kitchen , which means even a simple weeknight meal is sure to take you away from the ordinary.

Men with the Pot Cookbook is a tutorial guide with recipes developed and curated by the MenWithThePot, Kris Szymanski and Slawek Kalkraut. Due out 17th May 2022 from Quarto on their Harvard Common Press imprint, it's 208 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats.
This is a comprehensive and surprisingly varied field guide to cooking outdoors, both for camping and RV styles of al fresco dining. The book has a casual friendly vibe and the writing is easy to understand, lightly humorous in places, and is solidly competent in terms of food safety and aesthetic appeal. My experiences of cooking while camping have mostly amounted to jabbing hot dogs and marshmallows onto pointy sticks when I was a kid and waving them around in an open fire. This is quite a step up from that.
The introduction includes a how-to guide to using the book and some (very short) basic tutorials on flavorings, spices, and some intriguing bushcraft tips on using found resources to build cooking stands and tools. The following chapters contain the recipes grouped thematically: world cuisine (Italian, Eastern European, Asian, fusion (African/Asian/Western European - really creative mashup)), meats, poultry, baking (!), seafood, hand-held meals (burgers, sandwiches, tacos, quesadillas).
Recipes include an introduction and background, bullet lists of ingredients with measurements in both imperial/American and standard/metric (yay!), followed by concise step-by-step instructions. The photography throughout is very high quality, clear, and in color. Tutorial photos are taken without hands or obstructions in the way and are easy to understand. One slightly odd aspect with the photography. Action shots with the authors are all posed so their faces are turned away or hidden. They say in their introduction that their purpose with the videos (they're *HUGE* on TikTok and other social media) was to concentrate on the food and not themselves and I suppose that carries over into the book aesthetic as well.
The recipes are varied and tasty. What lifted this book out of the ordinary to me were the highlighted text bars scattered throughout with short "Forest Hacks" and also the amazingly creative small tutorials for using natural found materials to make varied utensils and tools such as a pasta noodle drying rack and gnocchi board. Really cool stuff.
According to their own press, they're two Polish guys living in Northern Ireland and spending more time cooking outdoors than they spend indoors, but the food and tips here are anything but ordinary. This would make a great selection for public or school library acquisition, scouting/camping groups, or a super welcome gift for RV/camping friends.
Five stars.

If you aren’t on TikTok or have seen their posts on Instagram, then you probably have no idea why I jumped at the chance to look at the Men With the Pot cookbook before its release date. Kris Szymanski and Slawek Kalkraut only cook outdoors in the most gorgeous settings, and their ASMR is outstanding. Not to mention what they cook looks delicious. For long-time followers of their feed, the cookbook won’t hold much in the way of new recipes. Almost all of the recipes included are ones they featured at some point in time, which is cool. What is not cool is that the authors don’t adapt their recipes for kitchen cooking. While they say it is possible, many of their directions are for highly variable cooking by an open flame and not for ovens or stovetops. This aspect of the cookbook disappointed me because while I appreciate what they do and make as an art form, they freely admit it takes them hours, if not all day, to make one of their recipes from start to finish over a fire as they intend. I don’t know about you, but I don’t love cooking that much. While it was cool to look at the recipes, the ingredients used, and their techniques for making them, I can’t say Men With the Pot impressed me as a useful tool. Entertaining? Certainly. Practical and an excellent addition to any home chef’s arsenal? Not so much.

The MenWithThePot Tiktok channel has been my favourite for some time, so I was excited when I saw the chance to review their official cookbook on Netgalley. The book is full of great recipes, of course, but also filled with Forest Hacks and Bushcraft sections offering advice for moving your kitchen to the forest. Even though I am unlikely to ever make my own tripod potholder for swinging my cast iron pot over the flame, I enjoy feeling like I could, if I really wanted to. There's another tip every few pages, with enough detail that I found myself considering purchasing a whittling knife for my next BBQ, even though I've never whittled anything in my life. If I had the right knife, apparently I could quickly whittle everything from a skewer to a rolling pin to chopsticks. I suspect it isn't as easy as they make it look.
Obviously, the recipes can all be made at home; there's even note that you can use a food processor instead of a mortar and pestle if you like. The Men With The Pot are upfront about the fact that a meal that might take an hour in the kitchen can take six hours out in the forest.
I find watching their videos tranquil and soothing but really, what I want is to be in the forest and have the men make food for me. The truth is, I don't want to do the cooking as much as I want to do the eating.
In the interest of a fair review, I packed up my backpack and hiked to a campsite to try my hand at cooking in the forest. I don't know how to record cool cool sounds and I don't have the huge knife and I am not carrying a cast-iron pot in my backpack. So I chose a recipe that I could make despite my handicaps: sticky pork belly with whiskey.
To be honest, modifying the recipe was a lot easier than making the Tiktok video! But the pork turned out amazing and I have to agree, it was a great way to spend an afternoon in the forest with plenty of time to just sit and be.
The description of Forest Baking says these are the trickiest recipes to make, although I suspect that they are also the "most likely recipes that readers will cook in their kitchens". Pasta and sausage rolls and pretzels all come with a collection of tips and tricks for cooking in the forests, which helps the kitchen cook to think about how to use his or her kitchen just a little bit differently.
Another bonus is that the cookbook doesn't presume you are cooking for a small army. The Forest Pretzels makes three pretzels and the flatbread dough is aimed at four flatbreads, just right for two people lost in the forest. And all of the measurements are offered in both imperial and metric, which I would love to see in more recipe books.
Every recipe I tried from the cookbook was delicious; I admit I modified quite a bit from the text but that's part of the joy of their presentation. You are encouraged to make the recipes work for you and for your circumstances. My circumstances just happen to almost always be in the kitchen.
For the true forest experience, I need two strong Polish guys to come hiking with me. I would have tested a lot more recipes in the wilderness if they carried my cast-iron pot for me.

I was absolutely thrilled to be able to review the Men with the Pot Cookbook because this was one of the first accounts that I followed when I joined TikTok. Their account is filled with eye-catching cooking of scrumptious-looking food while in nature. If you haven't seen them, I highly recommend that you check them out on TikTok at Men with the Pot. And just an aside, if you happen to have some extra cash laying around that you don't know what to do with, you could buy me their knife set. I am totally coveting them!
The Men with the Pot Cookbook is filled with six chapters of recipes using a variety of meats such as beef, poultry, and duck, cheeses, and vegetables. They even cover baking. Each recipe is accompanied by exquisite photographs and very through explanations.
The joy of this cookbook is that while it was written from the authors' points of view of cooking in the forest, these recipes can be duplicated in the comfort of your own kitchen. However, if you really want to cook in nature, there are instructions for making the pot and pan stands, instructions for starting a fire in the wild, and some basic cooking-with-fire lessons.
While the joy of watching the Men with the Pot is watching them cook outdoors over a fire with handmade tools, to be able to make some of their delicious-looking recipes would be a real treat. I really enjoyed getting to know the men behind the camera and to understand how they started their social media accounts and ultimately were able to write this cookbook.
I highly recommend the Men with the Pot Cookbook not only for their amazing recipes, their extensive instructions, but, also, for their mouth-watering photographs. It makes for a great gift for backyard grillers as well as campers.

If you're familiar with the social media accounts, you're familiar with this book and the concept: two guys who cook outdoors for some cooking ASMR videos. Their twist is that they are outside, often using what can be found in the outdoors and their faces are never (Rarely? I haven't watched every single video) seen. Sometimes, all you may see is their hands as they work. And eventually they were inspired/goaded/etc. into writing a cookbook.
And it is a cookbook! Dishes that range from food you might cook outdoors to stuff that isn't all that different from a takeaway/takeout meal at home. All with the great outdoors as your kitchen, pantry, supply room, etc. It also has the added bonus of the bushcraft that goes behind it and how to make at least some of the tools you'll use.
The book is filled with lots of gorgeous pictures. I think I personally would have liked to have seen more as it was a little hard for me to grasp some of the techniques and bushcraft from the text. I say this as someone who likes my A/C and other facilities and would probably be more at home as a "glamping" type who wouldn't survive, haha. I felt like that I'd have to be someone who would have to use YouTube tutorials and/or have backups just in case.
That said, it was an enjoyable book and you could make these dishes would replicating what the Men with the Pot do. It does lay flat as a cookbook would but is also nice enough to be more of a coffee table type of book to admire but not necessarily use for yourself.
I enjoyed this as a bargain buy, knowing it was not something I'd likely use formself. Would make for a great gift someone who enjoys their videos but if you're not sure to add this to your collection, a browse through at your library or bookstore is always a good bet.

Love cooking outdoors? Men with the Pot: Delicious Grilled Meats and Forest Feasts takes outdoor cooking to a higher plain. With the popularity of bushcrafting, and the authors who are popular TicTok personalities, Kris Szymanski and Slawek Kalkraut, this is a very timely and fun cookbook.
The recipes included are unexpected and some can be given gourmet status; it makes readers wonder: how can people cook such amazing dishes in the forest? They are absolutely appealing and there is enough variety that almost everyone will find something mouthwatering. Many of the recipes are hearty and filling; no dainty, delicate, frou-frou here. For those into bushcrafting, there are articles mixed in with the recipes that have instructions on creating cooking tools, as well as cooking hints, tips for starting fires in the forest, and using the correct cookware. The recipes, while not necessarily quick and easy, are written in standard form with detailed instructions that anyone can follow.
This cookbook is different from most outdoor and barbecue cookbooks that are available in most bookstores. It is definitely a must for survivalists and bushcrafters. It contains fabulous recipes, however, that will inspire non-outdoor people to adapt some of the recipes to prepare in their yards on the barbecue grill or even in their ovens. This is actually a fun cookbook for everyone and one that will make a good addition to cookbook collections.
Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

Gah! This looks thoroughly worth the try, from start to finish – except it's not once in the kitchen, with a good oven temperature in Fahrenheit, Celsius, fan and gas mark equivalents. "Prepare your fire for medium heat" – yup, we have a fire. As in, naked flame. As in, we're supposed to want to emulate two Polish lads big on the socials, who live in or near the woods in Northern Ireland, and know what to do when it comes to toting grub through the forest, knocking up a mouthwatering dish, and getting all the detritus home again. If you want to get with their programme, this is wonderful, I'm sure, but where to go for the indoors Polish rolady, Bavarian pretzels, and all the other veggie-scaring recipes featured here?
OK, so if I was a halfway decent cook I could convert what we have here to a home environment, or just Give It A Go. That said, their 'drunk salmon' sounds like the biggest enemy of smoke alarms since sliced burnt ends. But there was space (in amongst the how-to-whittle-a-steak-mallet bumf) to drop a few guidelines. If their name is as strong as they make out (they've yet to hit my utube algorithm) they would not dilute their shtick, and prove to many more people they can knock up a sterling recipe – and an attractive cookbook. With all the DIY kind of outdoorsman aspects there aren't that many courses here, but stumble upon a fairy ring and get one of these on the go and I'll be damned sure you'd gain some followers, too.

I was already familiar with the "Men with the Pot" from their TikTok channel which offers both ASMR sounds of cooking and the forest and beautiful food prep, so I was excited to see their work put in recipe format, and this cookbook lives up to my expectations. The recipes are well-written, and the photography is beautiful. I also appreciate that the recipes are written such that you could go all in on the outdoor prep and cooking, or "cheat" and do part of a recipe or do some prep indoors. I think this would work equally well for the casual backyard firepit setting and the serious camper. There's a chapter with tips on how to set up and cook outdoors and more tips sprinkled throughout the book. The recipes cover a broad range, including a variety of cuisines, and some are simple while others are more involved. I'm particularly intrigued by the recipes for baking bread over a fire. Looking forward to trying lots of these recipes!

This cookbook is based on the same Men With The Pot that you may have seen on social media.
It’s all about cooking out in the forest, and I have to say, I was absolutely amazed at just what they could cook in that way.
The book tells you the tools you need and also for each recipe they explain any bushcraft knowledge you may need to use.
The book is filled with fabulous pictures, enough to make your mouth water.
This book would make a great gift for anyone who likes to hike and camp in the great outdoors.
My thanks to the author, the publisher and to NetGalley for allowing me to read this book. I am leaving this review of my own volition.

The recipes are good, (although personally I would have liked a bit more variety, but if meats, cheese and bread is your thing then this is for you!) but I can see how some people will struggle to make these inside at home if they're not seasoned cooks.
What I also wanted to point out is the execution of the book from a design point. The pictures are blurry, most likely screenshots from the videos. The font and layout has a homemade feel to it, almost like a hastily put together draft, not what I would expect from a finished book.
Personally I'd recommend the magic and atmosphere from the videos, and not try to bring that into reality with this book.

If you like cooking outdoors this book is a delight. These guys really know how to play with their food, whilst going out to play. I sometimes cook over fire but more often than not I’m out campervanning and using my trusty Cobb oven/grill. All of the methods can be easily adapted for a charcoal Cobb. I’ll also be able to campfire cook on my little Firebox stove, when conditions permit.
I was so engaged by this book once it was downloaded to my Kindle app I sat and read it cover to cover in one go. It will be a valuable resource to pop in and out of.

Amazing cookbook and very helpful! I'm going camping in a month and I'll be trying these recipes. There are recipes for pastas, breads, steaks, chicken, pork and turkey. Everything done over the fire outside (which is my favorite cooking method). Definitely recommend it, not just for campers but also for summer outdoor cooking.

I hate to say it but this book ~exceeded~ my expectations. I didn't give these guys enough credit and I should have! This book was phenomenal! The pictures were soooo droolworthy and the instructions were clear. As someone who is hesitant to forage and eat "wild" food, this did a great job of showing what is plausible and what I can buy ahead of time. There was a great variety of recipes too. Well done and worth it!

Well organized and photographed cookbook with the most incongruous combinations of foods and cooking outdoors. Still a very fun read, although some of the recipes are far too complicated for me to try their methods. Even so, nice inspirations for foodies in the great outdoors, and nifty ideas sparked for things to try at home in more conventional surroundings to try a complex recipe.

Absolutely delicious!
Great book, lots of information. Everything looks absolutely delicious! Both my wife and I loved this book. We will definitely be try these recipes out for ourselves!

Wow!! Do not go into this expecting a simple camping cookbook because this is anything but! This is just an amazing cookbook that you can make every single recipe outside. I was so impressed with cookbook that even though I’m not outdoorsy, I’m going to be using this book repeatedly!!!

Super cool ideas if you camp and like to cook.

Wow! Just wow! What a great little book. Taking gourmet cooking out of the five-star restaurants and putting in your own campsite. Fantastic recipes. Well written. Easily understood and "do-able". Excellent photography.
I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley, in exchange for a fair review, however.....I will be purchasing a hard copy to use on my next fly fishing getaway with my friends. They are going to be amazed!
If you have any interest in camping, or cooking over an open fire, this book will up your game tremendously!
