Review: My sisters and I have used this as our bible for the last 15 years or so when we head to the Boundary Waters or the Quetico for a week of wilderness canoeing. "Superb meals" are indeed what you get! A couple of our favorites are the Spaghetti Carbonara and the Vegetable and Ground Beef Stew, but there are lots of other recipes to suit every taste. Although several of us have invested in dehydrators now, the directions for drying food using the oven are really good too. The jerky recipe could use a little more seasoning, but as with all cookbooks, one's own taste eventually dictates minor alterations. This is a great book for anyone who wants to lighten their load on the trail without sacrificing quality and taste. I'm so glad it was reprinted in 2002!
