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
