“This is the rare book that considers campfire cookery as a gustatory pursuit.”
—Sierra, the National Magazine of the Sierra Club
Forget freeze-dried astronaut meals and bags of stale, store-bought gorp. Finally, here’s a cookbook that complements the magic of gathering around a campfire and sharing a meal with friends. From the IACP Award–winning authors of The Picnic, which brought taste and style to eating outdoors (in the daytime), comes its companion, for leaving civilization behind and dining under the stars. A mix of dishes to make ahead and meals to cook on-site, The Campout Cookbook includes more than 75 recipes for wood-fired skillet pizzas; backcountry stews and chilies; fire-roasted vegetables and cast-iron breads; unexpected dips, jerkies, and high-energy bars; breakfasts to satisfy that yawning hunger that comes from sleeping in the fresh air; s’mores, of course (including Vanilla Bean Dream Marshmallows & Co. and Dark Chocolate Raspberry Caramel Fire-Ban S’mores); and cocktails, coolers, warm libations for chilly nights, and a Blood Orange Bug Juice.
Plus there’s inspiration and know-how for every avid camper and enthusiastic neophyte: How to find a suitable campsite and build a campfire specifically for cooking over, and how to keep it going. Stargazing for city slickers. A troubleshooting guide. And the definitive packing list and camp kitchen essentials. Just add a few scary stories for a truly memorable campout.

Some foods just taste better when cooked on an open flame under the stars. But who knew camp cuisine could be so elevated, pleasing even the most discerning foodie? Hanel and Stevenson, authors of the IACP award-winning The Picnic: Recipes and Inspiration from Basket to Blanket, here share cast iron-tested recipes for all kinds of meals and palettes. While they offer twists on traditional camp favorites such as pudgie pies, they also include themed, curated menus (e.g., "Plein Air Pizza," or "Forest Fiesta"). Many recipes feature ways to incorporate the rustic setting into the meal (e.g., cooking with a stick or preparing a freshly caught fish). Looking to upgrade your hot dogs or s'mores? Suggestions for inventive toppings are provided for each. The "Fortifications" chapter provides tasty cocktail recipes that can be prepared in a flask or Thermos. Many of the recipes are kid-pleasing and vegetarian-friendly. The colorful guide also includes solid camping tips, tricks, and safety information to make your trip memorable beyond the meals. VERDICT Camping chefs of any skill level are sure to find something tasty to try in this cookbook.--Jennifer Clifton, Indiana State Lib., Indianapolis
