Reviews
"I own a
dozen or so trail-food cookbooks, but they have all stayed on the shelf
since I was given Lipsmackin' Backpackin' as a gift a couple of months
ago."
Sarah Elliott, The Kaweah Commonwealth, 2001
"Lipsmackin' Backpackin' is a veritable compendium of excellent
recipes with the backpacker in mind. This well-written book contains
over two hundred pages of mouth-watering recipes to enhance your outdoor
experience."
Laurie March, Outdoor Adventure Canada, 2003
"Cold oatmeal, ramen noodles, hot cocoa from a packet, and if
I'm lucky, a few Snickers bars: that's what I usually pack when I'm
on a backpacking trip. I never complained. I thought it was a rite of
passage that backpackers suffer and eat like college kids. However,
armed with the straight-forward recipes from Lipsmackin' Backpackin'
and Lipsmackin' Vegetarian Backpackin', you can now call me Emeril of
the Woods!"
Josh Erdsneker, Trail Walker, 2004
