Wilderness Chef - The Ultimate Guide To Cooking Outdoors
The first cookbook from the outdoors legend that is Ray Mears isn’t just a cookbook, it’s a font of all knowledge that takes you through the basic camp kitchen, types of stoves, pots, pans and cutlery through to cooking on hot rocks and planks.
If you’re looking for a book on foraging and creating wild salads, sorry, this isn’t the book for you. Instead the book takes you through the basics, from boiling rice and soft boiled eggs, to creating fancy mouth watering meals such as Chicken Supreme, Jägerschnitzel and Eggs Benedict.
Ray looks into planning and good housekeeping techniques as well as hygiene, basically from creating a list of ingredients all the way through to washing up!
With sections on Scout cooking, griddle and grills, frying, boiling, using cast iron and ground ovens, Ray explores the many different types of camp cooking, from using a full on camp kitchen, to a simply fire.
The Wilderness Chef is well written with excellent photos and explains everything you need to know about kit, how to use and maintain it for years to come.
Overall it’s an excellent book that should be on every adventurer's shelf.
