Sometimes wacky, always practical, this book will help the new camp cookie to develop a thorough foundation of basic skills, while providing the experienced chef with plenty of new recipes and techniques to add additional dimension and enjoyment to their outdoor cooking. "The Scout's Outdoor Cookbook" emphasizes the best food preparation and techniques currently used in scouting.

With this book, we're confident you'll do the same. About the Authors Christine and Tim Conners are the authors of "Lipsmackin' Backpackin'" and "Lipsmackin' Vegetarian Backpackin'," two of the most popular trail cooking books of the past decade. Christine is a former Girl Scout from her home state of Hawaii. Tim was a Cub Scout during his youth in Ohio, and as an adult, served as Den Leader and Assistant Cubmaster in Georgia's Coastal Empire Council. At the invitation of the Boy Scouts of America, the Conners recently served as judges for "Scouting "magazine's prestigious national camp food cooking contest, a watershed moment that ultimately led to the creation of this book. Tim and Christine have been testing outdoor foods practically nonstop for over tenyears. They are grateful that their four children are wonderfully accustomed to, and generally entertained by, the enormous range of outdoor culinary eccentricities that their parents have brought into the kitchen from the backyard The Conners family lives in Georgia, where a Dutch oven can often be found warming over coals in the fire pit.

Summary: GREAT
Comment: I'm a outdoor trainer for Girl Scouts-- this cookbook is excellent for the new to experienced person. All the receipes are tried and true, from the easy level to the advanced. Everything you need to know, how to cook using stick, one pot, dutch oven, cardboard box, paper bag, ingredients, type of fire, even to the number of charcole brickets you need are included. It's easy to read and understand. I highly recommend it to anyone that cooks outdoors. I've done 3 outdoor trainings using it, and every leader there (including people who have never cooked outside), purchased a book. The receipes can also be cooked in your kitchen. Try it, you won't be disappointed. Christine and Tim have done their homework on this book.

Whether carried miles by backpack or prepared in a cast-iron Dutch oven, these culinary delights are practical as well as mouth watering. Also, these recipes kindle the spark of innovation, and create unique dining experiences as we all want and need in the wilds.
