fun book with neat ideas

I got this book at the library, but then came now online to purchase it. The ideas presented were fun and easy. I hadn't used tin foil on the campfire before, and the author gave some good ideas for that as well as items to be cooked on a stick. For example, I loved the idea about melting chocolate and bananas in the banana peel wrapped in tin foil. One reviewer commented about the use of perishables in the recipes. That wasn't a concern for us because of the refrigerator in our trailer. I suppose one could put the food items in an ice chest as long as one could drive to his/her campsite. I highly recommend this book. It's fun and easy food for families while camping.

Great book for kids and parents!

This book gave me a lot of good ideas when I took my daycare kids camping this summer. They liked most of the recipes, but we tailored some of them to their liking. It was a great book.

just right

This is a fun book for kids, and has a lot of common sense easy recipes they can follow. It starts off by teaching the basics of building a campfire, especially the safety involved, and putting out the fire. It has sections on cooking on a grill, cooking in a pouch, and on a stick. If you havne't doen these it is hard to describe, since they do not mean an animal on a spit here. This is good for cub scouts or other youth groups to teach basic cooking skills to kids in the woods.

A Great book for backpacks

This book is well written and beautifully illustrated. It expands the basic recipe file of backpacking campers to include many delicious meals. This is a great resource for those who are just beginning their camping experiences, especially scout leaders who need to teach their young scouts how to cook over an open flame.

COOKING ON A STICK is a handy, dandy little book.
