Camp Cooking Quotes

― Joanne Harris, Chocolat

“Roux seemed different here, more relaxed, outlined in fire as he supervised his cooking.

― Joanne Harris, Chocolat

“There were pancakes, of course; and sausages; and duck confit and goose-liver terrine; and sweet pink onions, fried mushrooms with herbs, and little tomme cheeses rolled in ash; and pastis gascon, and nut bread, aniseed bread, fouace, olives, chilies and dates.”
― Joanne Harris, Peaches for Father Francis

“We usually camp out on digs. Smoked briskets and pulled chicken is a big step up from hot dogs and walking tacos.”
― Chandra Blumberg, Digging Up Love
