Book Review

Moveable Feasts

What to Eat and How to Cook it in the Great Outdoors

by Amy-Jane Beer and Roy Halpin
Cicerone, 2008, ISBN 1852845341 - ISBN-13 9781852845346, £14.95

 

  

 A cookbook, from Cicerone?

Moveable Feasts is a novel approach for Cicerone, a cookbook, but not just any old cookbook, a unique cookbook. It’s an Outdoor person’s cookbook with a mine full of information on optimal nutrition for the outdoor enthusiast and an inspirational cookery book for anyone who wants to enjoy great food on camping trips. It has detailed practical information on energy and nutrition, topics such as building a safe camp fire, using water safely, camping with children and finding wild and seasonal foods. It also includes easy-to-follow recipes for snacks, main meals, puddings, cakes and drinks whilst out in the wild outdoors

This book contains all you need to plan your camp cookery. Separated into two parts, the first containing chapters with advice on nutrition, camp cooking equipment, water, packing food, the camp kitchen, camping with children and wild foods; whilst part two has almost a hundred recipes for nutritious, delicious camp meals with an index that highlights the high-energy, lightweight, child-friendly, vegetarian, prepare-at-home and super-quick recipes for easy referencing and noting of your favourites.

 So whether you’re a seasoned mountaineer, backpacker, paddler, mountain biker, adventure racer or completely new to the outdoor life; whether you’re camping on an official site or in the wild; whether you’re competing, hanging out with mates, or exploring with the family, there’s something here for you.
