Product Description

Sterilised cutlery? Spotless kitchens? Immaculate culinary presentation? Forget it! Food is real and raw. It comes from the ground and grows on trees. So what better way to enjoy it than out in the open air, around a campfire, a barbecue or a simple gas burner? The Cool Camping Cookbook, from the publishers of the Top 5 Travel Bestseller Cool Camping: England, combines a passion for the outdoors with a love of food. And the result is a cookbook unlike any other. Illustrated with hundreds of refreshingly candid photos it dishes up fresh ideas for campers, walkers, picnic lovers - or for those who just want to cook al fresco in the back garden. With innovative recipes for barbecue or burner, simple comfort food for a rainy day, delicious meals to cook over a roaring fire and squidgy, sweet things to get stuck in your teeth, this book sticks two grubby fingers up to the Nanny State! Learn how to cook calzone pizza directly onto an open fire, bake muffins in orange peel, roast fish in a pile of salt, or create your own fresh and flavoursome 'boil in the bag' meals to take with you on a trip. It's great food for the great outdoors!

really good fun
This is such a cute little book! the recipes aren't really hi-tec or anything but it tells you how to build a fire and gives you checklists for equipment and stuff, which is good if you've never been camping before. and it's got lots of yum stuff i never would have thought of, like cooking roast chicken or this omlette with strawberries in. Theer are other harder recipes, but I preferd the easy, messy stuff which involves stuffing things on sticks! And barbecue stuff is well-covered too. The pictures look good but not fake, and the words are quite quirky and funny, made me laugh anyway, which i wasn't expecting. glad i bought it... might spur me on to cook a bit more outdoors instead of heading to the pub...

Pretty good!
This is a really good book for new campers like me. Lots of recipies for different occasions, from 'one pot wonders' to 'Something fancy'. The recipies all work, and good information about what to take/ use, with simple instructions. Also good choice of veggie food.

Cool Cooking
I bought this book as a birthday present for my husband but it happened to arrive on a sunny day i had off work so I sat in the garden reading! By the time he came home I was so excited by it (sad!) I had to give it to him straight away (along with Cool Camping - Kids). The recipes are easy, inspiring and as well as I'm sure good for camping, fab for home BBQs too.
