Cooking Around the Fire & Under the Stars | Hardcover

What planet has rain of diamonds? Why do pirates wear eye patches? Ever wonder what kind of animals were the first passengers in a hot air balloon? This book has the answers.

Enjoy these tried & true fireside recipes to enjoy with your family under the stars in your own backyard, out camping or at the lake!

Finally, here’s a cookbook that complements the magic of gathering around a campfire and sharing a meal with friends. From the IACP Award–winning authors of The Picnic, which brought taste and style to eating outdoors (in the daytime), comes its companion, for leaving civilization behind and dining under the stars.

A mix of dishes to make ahead and meals to cook on-site, The Ultimate Campout Cookbook (Marnie Hanel & Jen Stevenson) includes more than 75 recipes for wood-fired skillet pizzas; backcountry stews and chilies; fire-roasted vegetables and cast-iron breads; unexpected dips, jerkies, and high-energy bars; breakfasts to satisfy that yawning hunger that comes from sleeping in the fresh air; s’mores, of course (including Vanilla Bean Dream Marshmallows & Co. and Dark Chocolate Raspberry Caramel Fire-Ban S’mores); and cocktails, coolers, warm libations for chilly nights, and a Blood Orange Bug Juice.

Plus there’s inspiration and know-how for everyone - how to build a campfire specifically for cooking over, and how to keep it going. Stargazing for city slickers. And so much more!
