Great history of cooking...outdoors.

Wonderful outdoor cookbook filled with lots of memories.

This book has a lot of recipes all using your cast iron cookware over an open fire. But cast iron is not the only method, lots of aluminum foil pouch meals. Cast iron is my own personal favorite way of outdoor grilling. The book opens with a nice into on the Forestry Service, and goes into detail on cooking with cast iron for folks not familiar with the how-to. Well worth a review.

There are recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everything in between and on either side.

I really liked the photos and the historical anecdotes included through the book.

These recipes are just as relevant today and certainly give a lot of ideas. A fun read, it reminds me a lot of camping with my parents in my younger days. I purchased the Kindle version, the photo quality was excellent, not those tiny grainy thumbnails.

campy and fun

Loved the excerpts from the old forest service workers and the recipes looked tasty. Unfortunately there were a lot of repeat or similar recipes.
