Most of these books have the reputation of being a little too spartan for kayaking, but one that I think stands out is "Wilderness Cuisine". Most everything in this book is excellent. (My favorite is the Puttanesca recipe, which makes me salivate just thinking about it...) There's also the old standby "Kayak Cookery" by Linda Daniels (I think), which isn't quite as gourmet, but is still very good, extremely creative and, as title implies, specific for kayaking. Lots of good ideas for organization also. Another book that I like a lot is "High Trail cookery" (or High Trail something). Most of the recipes in this one are dried (in fact, she suggests drying things like casseroles that I never woulda thought could be dried), and thus work well for kayak trips, esp lazy ones where you just want to add water and cook or long ones where space and simplicity are more important. My favorite recipe in this is for Tamale Pie. And one last good source of excellent (almost too many) ideas is the Cooking Light magazine/books. Even though not wilderness-oriented, many of the recipe ideas can be adapted easily enough to the outdoors. Evan PS Hmmmmm. Just thinking that, for those of us who regard the social evenings in camp with great food almost as highly as the paddling itself -- maybe we could put together a "Paddlewise cookbook" with contributions from the group. I suppose it could be a little redundant, since there are a lot of good books already out there--but if there were enough contributions, I might even volunteer to edit it (words I'll probably regret later...). *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
When I ran long trips I brought the Tassahara bread cookbook along, with stashes of eggs, flour, spices, and baking powder. My favorite for a layover day is pancakes with beaten eggs whites folded in. Dutch oven corn bread is great (can always use the NOLS twiggy fire!). You can cook anything on a kayak trip that you can at home; I always eat better, as a matter of fact. Pick fruits and vegetables that ripen as you go and keep them in pots and other places and then have a salad on the last day (cabbage, etc with a mayo, pepper and real-lime juice dressing). Keep a bag with sauces for marinading fish. Makes we want to go just thinking about it.
