It seems they spent all the production budget on the cover photography and skipped everything else. The editing is also atrocious in this book.
After reading through it, I was very disappointed in the recipes offered. I bought this book for recipes to use in our backyard fire-ring.
The title of this book should really be "How To Make Foil Cooking Utensils". I was hoping for more foil-pouch-type recipes.
There are a few of these, but the majority are recipes that you can use anywhere, the author just tells you to "make a foil skillet" or a "foil pot". A few recipes have sentences repeated, and there are misspellings everywhere.
There are better camp-cooking books out there, try "Roughing It Easy" instead of this dud.Roughing It Easy : A Unique Ideabook for Camping and Cooking
I have been looking for some cook books for camping. I really wanted to use the coils to cook with when camping instead of meals I could make at home on the stove. These cook books have many receipes to choose from that I can use over the coils. I really like the way the book shows you how to make pots and pans out of tinfoil and sticks found around the woods.Its perfect.
While the recipes in this book look like they'd taste great and would be easy to cook.it wasn't what I was looking for in a foil cooking book. I expected a book full of foil pouch recipes that could be simply cooked on the coals by scouts.Instead, this book is full of standard camp skillet and pot recipes. The author simply puts the word "foil" in front of the words skillet and pot.This would be a much more useful book if it were divided by (or at least indexed by) cooking style.such as foil pouch, foil skillet, foil pot, or foil reflector oven.
To create fabulous meals in the great outdoors all campers need is a roll of aluminum foil and the cookbook "Foil Cookery." Chicken cordon bleu, salmon steak with cilantro and Cajun pork are a few of the more exotic dishes. Going on a camping excursion this summer. Lighten the load and leave the pots and pans at home. But you can find revolutionary ways to cook breakfast staples such as biscuits and gravy, pancakes, omelets and potatoes, as well as dozens of lunch and dinner entrees featuring beef, chicken, pork and seafood. Foil Cookery also offers advice on how to mold pots, pans and pockets with foil, even an original foil invention, the Drip-O-Lator Coffee Pot.
