Wilderness Cuisine

How to Prepare and Enjoy Fine Food on the Trail and in Camp

by Carole Latimer

Now in its fourth printing, this comprehensive cookbook goes through the how-to's of packing and serving delicious, fresh and nutritious food on the trail. These recipes will make you forget you're roughing it: Szechuan Snow Peas, Shrimp Steamed in Beer, flaming Cherries Jubilee…more than 130 recipes in all.

Carole Latimer is now busy writing the Second Edition of this cookbook, with many new recipes.

“Latimer's book reads as if Wolfgang Puck just redid the cooking section of the Boy Scouts manual.”—Pat Dillon, San Jose Mercury News

“Not only a basic how-to on the art of eating well in the outdoors, it also offers a fresh approach to the subject.”—Backpacker Magazine

“Wilderness Cuisine...the indispensable backpacker's bible”—Outside Magazine

“When we tested her recipes on our Coleman two-burner camp stove, the results were delicious.”—Barbara Goldman, Sunset Magazine

“The adventuring world knows Carole Latimer as a sort of Julia Child. Her cookbook, Wilderness Cuisine, which features such backpackable delights as Havasu Watercress Salmon and Thai Tom Yum soup, made her a star among outdoorsy food-lovers.”—Mike Steere, Universal Press Syndicate
