Summary: NOLS Cookery
Review: I was introduced to an earlier edition of this book on my NOLSInstructors Course. The food we learned to prepare on the course wasTHE BEST I've ever eaten. NOLS has elevated food selection, storage and preparation to a science. This new edition is MUCH better than the old, with more great information about ration planning, equipment selection, cooking information and some NEW, TASTY recipes. Due to the use of bulk rations, the NOLS style of cooking may not be appropriate for occasional hikers going only for a weekend, but is a superb system for meal planning for longer trips. Anyone can become a GREAT backcountry chef with this guide! END

Summary: Drop those Raman noodles!
Review: If there is anything worse than slogging through a rainy day on the trail and then sitting down to a big ol' plate of beef jerky, I don't know what it is. This cook book goes step by step through the process of planning meals for your trip, the best way to pack the food, and how to prepare it on a one-burner stove. If you think that Ramans are the pinnacle of outdoor eating, check this book out. On my NOLS trip to Alaska, my cook group (none of whom, including myself, were anything like experienced cooks) was making pizza and cinnamon rolls from scratch by following these recipes. Mighty tasty.

Review: Just one of many good books out there on how to cook while camping. However, if you are a light weekend hiker or some one who likes to cook simply, this is not the book for you. The concept of the NOLS school is that you'll carry a wide range of basic cooking stuff ( flower, sugar, etc), and thus have a wide range of meal options while hiking instaed of having to plan each meal in advance. *lol* However, this book as found its way into my kitchen at home!

Review: This book is essential reading for anyone who travels in the Outdoors. Filled with a ton of recipes, the Cookery kept me sane and well fed for a month straight in the woods. I love it!

Summary: Don't try this at home kids...
Review: This is an essential book for anyone planning extended backcountry trips (more than a few days). It tells you what and how much to bring as well as what to do with it when you're hungry. I was introduced to this book on my NOLS Alaska Backpacking course and was treated to some of the best food I had ever tasted (or so I thought). Once you get back to the real world you realize that instant refried beans and lentils just aren't very good. ;-)
