Hungry Campers Cookbook

The Hungry Campers Cookbook

During our last camping trip to Noosa, we visited our favourite little book store The Riveread.  I was happy to find this delightful camping cookbook to add to my collection.  The Hungry Campers Cookbook by Katy Holder.

Our philosophy at Posh Camping, is that you never need to go without the luxuries while on the road. 

This book has some great tips for packing food, what to cook and how to store.  It also includes personal touches such as photos of the Author's family on some of their camping adventures.

Camp cooking has come a long way since the humble snag cooked on a make-shift barbie.

And Katy Holder has it down to a fine art.

Her latest cook book for people 'on the road' is Hungry Campers Cookbook, published by Explore Australia.

Katy has created and personally road tested 80 healthy and delicious recipes that are best eaten beside a roaring campfire.

All the recipes use fresh ingredients and minimal cooking equipment.

From one-pot dishes and barbecue delights to meals the grandchildren can help with, the cook book has easy to follow recipes and instructions and because it is published by Explore Australia is sturdy and will stand the test of travelling on the road in a motorhome or with caravan in tow.

The ingredients list is clearly highlighted, making it easy to know what you need to stock up with at your next stop where there is a grocery store/supermarket.

There's also a very handy hints section at the front of the book, covering both food and utensil items that you need to pack for each trip.  *The Senior

I thought I would share one of my favourite, simple, recipes from the book.

Lentil, Feta and Tomato Salad

Lentil, Feta and Tomato Salad

Tins of lentils are useful on camping trips for adding interest to salads.  I often take some with us in the height of summer when total fire bans may be in place and we can't light fires.

Serves 4

400g tin lentils, drained

250g feta cheese, crumbled or cubed

1 Lebanese cucumber, diced

250g cherry tomatoes, halved

60ml olive oil

juice of 1/4 lemon

Toss ingredients and serve!  

Simple as!
