Everything related to campfire cookery is covered here: packing equipment and supplies, building a fire, cooking without pots and pans, and making quick snacks for the trail. The pioneers may not have used nonstick cooking spray and sealable plastic bags, but they would recognize some of the foods represented, and so would anyone who has camped out with a scouting group. Even a novice cook can follow the simple recipes, which often label old favorites with jazzy new names, like "Who-o-o-s Chili" and "Hop Toad Popcorn." Heavy, slightly glossy pages make this book more durable than most other paperbacks. Linocut illustrations with colorful washes brighten every page.
With these sensible and sensitive safety-first recipes, this upbeat book guides kids through the fun and rewarding process of campfire cooking. Whether they're at a campground with other campers, in the forest with a scouting group, or simply in their own backyard with their family, they'll become familiar with all the basic methods for successful outdoor cooking.
Three cooking methods are explained with recipes given for each: on a stick, in a pouch, and on the grill.
