Cook it Wild

AN INSTANT GLOBE AND MAIL AND TORONTO STAR BESTSELLER • FINALIST FOR THE 2023 BANFF MOUNTAIN PRIZE IN GUIDEBOOKS

Say goodbye to ho-hum canned beans and freeze-dried camping meals. With prep-ahead recipes and field-tested advice, flavor-packed dishes suchas herby lemon chicken and fire-baked sticky buns become deliciously doable and fuss-free—whether you’re in the wilderness or your own backyard.

In this game-changing camping cookbook, food writer and outdoorsman Chris Nuttall-Smith introduces an ingenious prep-ahead approach that gets most (or even all) of the cooking done before a trip ever begins. Each recipe is divided into “at home” and “at camp” sections, so on your trip, many recipes have you simply drop fully prepped ingredients into a pot or onto a grill. Just like that, you’ll be dining on showstopping Sweet-Tangy Lemon Ribs or Sizzling Cumin Lamb Kebabs paired with Puff-and-Serve Chapati.

Plus, learn about the best-traveling cheeses, how to chill drinks when you don’t have ice, how to pick (and use) the right camp stove, and how to make great coffee outdoors! Cook It Wild proves that cooks and campers of every level can have the most spectacular campfire meals.
