The New Camp Cookbook: Gourmet Grub for Campers, Road Trippers, and Adventurers by Linda Ly

4.0

3.5 stars. This cookbook has great basic information for equipment to take on a camping trip. It features quite a few Dutch oven recipes. Each recipe has an icon denoting how it is cooked-- Grill, Dutch oven, campfire, camp stove-- which is very helpful. There are also notes for recipes on how to use up the rest of an ingredient used in that recipe-- for example, how to use the rest of the buttermilk you've opened for pancakes. I wish all cookbooks had that! The recipes in this book are for gourmet campers. There are several fresh fish recipes, which would be helpful if you're fishing but I'm unlikely to put an entire red snapper in my cooler. There is a recipe for making fresh pizza dough pizza in a Dutch oven. There are also some yummy-looking drink recipes. These are absolutely car camping recipes, and I'd say they are targeted to adults. They look delicious but definitely demand a lot of time at the camp kitchen. If that's your happy place, you will love this cookbook. If you are chasing around little kids and trying to just get food on the table as soon as possible, you might not enjoy this book.

Thanks to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing for providing a galley of this book. My thoughts are my own.
