I was hoping for more foil-pouch-type recipes. The editing is also atrocious in this book.
It seems they spent all the production budget on the cover photography and skipped everything else. A few recipes have sentences repeated, and there are misspellings everywhere.
I bought this book for recipes to use in our backyard fire-ring. The title of this book should really be "How To Make Foil Cooking Utensils".
There are better camp-cooking books out there, try "Roughing It Easy" instead of this dud.Roughing It Easy : A Unique Ideabook for Camping and Cooking After reading through it, I was very disappointed in the recipes offered.
There are a few of these, but the majority are recipes that you can use anywhere, the author just tells you to "make a foil skillet" or a "foil pot".
I really like the way the book shows you how to make pots and pans out of tinfoil and sticks found around the woods.Its perfect. These cook books have many receipes to choose from that I can use over the coils. I have been looking for some cook books for camping. I really wanted to use the coils to cook with when camping instead of meals I could make at home on the stove.
The author simply puts the word "foil" in front of the words skillet and pot.This would be a much more useful book if it were divided by (or at least indexed by) cooking style.such as foil pouch, foil skillet, foil pot, or foil reflector oven. While the recipes in this book look like they'd taste great and would be easy to cook.it wasn't what I was looking for in a foil cooking book. I expected a book full of foil pouch recipes that could be simply cooked on the coals by scouts.Instead, this book is full of standard camp skillet and pot recipes.
But you can find revolutionary ways to cook breakfast staples such as biscuits and gravy, pancakes, omelets and potatoes, as well as dozens of lunch and dinner entrees featuring beef, chicken, pork and seafood. To create fabulous meals in the great outdoors all campers need is a roll of aluminum foil and the cookbook "Foil Cookery." Chicken cordon bleu, salmon steak with cilantro and Cajun pork are a few of the more exotic dishes. Foil Cookery also offers advice on how to mold pots, pans and pockets with foil, even an original foil invention, the Drip-O-Lator Coffee Pot. Going on a camping excursion this summer. Lighten the load and leave the pots and pans at home.
