DESCRIPTION AND USE
As indicated in the very long title of the book, this is a book for people =
who want to make and dehydrate food at home for rehydration and heating up =
on the trail.
The book is divided into 5 chapters: beginning with the Introduction and Ho=
me-Dried One-Pot Meals and then continuing through Breakfast and Lunch, Swe=
et and Savory Snacks, and Pasta Dishes and Casseroles. It closes out with a=
section of Suggested Reading and Index.
The very short Introduction focuses on the many benefits of dehydrating mea=
ls for backpacking and is followed by a slightly longer chapter Home-Dried =
One-Pot Meals which covers the basics of dehydrating, equipment needed, mea=
l planning suggestions and information on the backcountry equipment needed,=
including stoves, fuels, bear canisters and water filters. All this is det=
ailed in the first 18 pages of the digital version of the book.
In chapter 3, the author begins with Breakfast and Lunch recipes, starting =
with breakfast items, including several (each) hot beverages, hot breakfast=
combinations, hot cereals, cold cereals, breakfast bars, drinks and moving=
up to lunch options such as breads, crackers, toasts, spreads and jerky.=20
Recipes for Sweet and Savory Snacks including nuts, beans, vegetables, drie=
d fruit and fruit leather, trail mixes and bars and cookies make up the con=
tents of Chapter 4.
This is followed by Soups and Stews including soups, chowders, stews, chili=
es, beans and pilafs in Chapter 5.
The final and longest chapter in the book is titled: Pasta Dishes and Casse=
roles which introduces meatless pasta dishes, pasta with meat or seafood ch=
oices, lasagna, casseroles and other combination dishes.
The book closes out with a short list of other suggested articles/books to =
read and the index to this book.
All of the dishes have the number of servings the recipe makes and the weig=
ht of one serving at the top of each page. This is a great help when planni=
ng backcountry meals! One small omission for metric users is the lack of me=
tric conversions.
*** Note: For me and my trail mates, the serving sizes are quite a bit more=
than the "generous" portions the author indicates they are. We are general=
ly over-stuffed. I have compensated for that by doubling the recipe and if,=
for example that would make eight servings; I bag it as three meals for th=
ree people.
The recipes are clearly written in a chronological manner where the ingredi=
ents are not listed at the top of the recipe followed by the directions but=
rather the ingredients are introduced as the directions proceed. This took=
a bit to get used to for me as when I cook, I usually would read the ingre=
dients and gather them all before starting the process. However, thanks to =
the fact that the ingredients are in bold type, I still am able to pick the=
m out first. And I do like that the amounts are right there listed in the d=
irections as I go along.

Breakfast To Go
For instance:
One of the simplest and most tasty breakfast recipes is the "Instant Oatmea=
l" which doesn't even need the process of dehydration and is written in the=
consistently used format as below:
1. Grind to a powder in a blender or food processor:
2 cups regular rolled oats
1/4 cup any variety nuts
2. Place the powder in a plastic bag and add:
1 cup instant dry milk
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup any variety chopped dried fruit
3. In camp, cover with water 3 inches above level of food in pot. Stir whil=
e bringing to a boil. Serve immediately.
This is so good that I keep a container on hand even at home. So much bette=
r than the instant packets sold in grocery stores!
I have personally cooked, dehydrated, packed-in, rehydrated and eaten every=
single hot breakfast combination and hot cereal recipe in this book! I als=
o can recommend the toasted bagels and hummus and bruschetta spreads for lu=
nches.=20

Dinner is Served!
Love the Cowboy Pasta recipe for a very hearty dinner as well. I haven't re=
ally experimented too much with the seafood dishes as I'm not sure I like t=
he idea of fish smells in the bear-country I usually backpack in! Doesn't s=
eem like a good idea to me though on one day hike in flat open desert, we d=
id enjoy one of the tuna casseroles.
In closing, this is my go-to backpacking dehydrating cookbook. I have sever=
al but I use this one the most.
STARRING ATTRACTIONS
1.) Great tasting and nutritious recipes
2.) Easy to read and follow directions
3.) Lots of good advice and information for newbie dehydrators
MINOR DISTRACTIONS
1.) For me and my trail mates, the portions are too large.
SUMMARY
Dinner is served
Trail Mate, Julia, Enjoying Lunch.
Since my most frequent trail mates are my son, a professional chef and my d=
aughter-in-law, a amateur gourmet cook, I have never had to eat store-bough=
t backpacking meals or subsist on food bars when I backpack. And since I tr=
y to pull my own weight, I make it a point to contribute my share of the gr=
ub on the trail. With Backpack Gourmet, I am confident my meals are nutriti=
ous and delicious as well. I use this book a lot - as a matter of fact, I h=
ave a Cowboy Pasta meal dehydrating right now as I type and as usual, the w=
hole house smells wonderful!
I can heartily recommend this book (and I have - my daughter-in-law also ha=
s it now) to anyone who wants good food when hiking, backpacking and campin=
g and doesn't want the high salt, preservatives and the price of pre-packag=
ed, off-the-shelf dehydrated meals.

DESCRIPTION AND USE<br clear=3D"none">
<br clear=3D"none">
As indicated in the very long title of the book, this is a book for people =
who want to make and dehydrate food at home for rehydration and heating up =
on the trail.<br clear=3D"none">
<br clear=3D"none">
The book is divided into 5 chapters: beginning with the Introduction and Ho=
me-Dried One-Pot Meals and then continuing through Breakfast and Lunch, Swe=
et and Savory Snacks, and Pasta Dishes and Casseroles. It closes out with a=
section of Suggested Reading and Index.<br clear=3D"none">
<br clear=3D"none">
The very short Introduction focuses on the many benefits of dehydrating mea=
ls for backpacking and is followed by a slightly longer chapter Home-Dried =
One-Pot Meals which covers the basics of dehydrating, equipment needed, mea=
l planning suggestions and information on the backcountry equipment needed,=
including stoves, fuels, bear canisters and water filters. All this is det=
ailed in the first 18 pages of the digital version of the book.<br clear=3D=
"none">
<br clear=3D"none">
In chapter 3, the author begins with Breakfast and Lunch recipes, starting =
with breakfast items, including several (each) hot beverages, hot breakfast=
combinations, hot cereals, cold cereals, breakfast bars, drinks and moving=
up to lunch options such as breads, crackers, toasts, spreads and jerky. <=
br clear=3D"none">
<br clear=3D"none">
Recipes for Sweet and Savory Snacks including nuts, beans, vegetables, drie=
d fruit and fruit leather, trail mixes and bars and cookies make up the con=
tents of Chapter 4.<br clear=3D"none">
<br clear=3D"none">
This is followed by Soups and Stews including soups, chowders, stews, chili=
es, beans and pilafs in Chapter 5.<br clear=3D"none">
<br clear=3D"none">
The final and longest chapter in the book is titled: Pasta Dishes and Casse=
roles which introduces meatless pasta dishes, pasta with meat or seafood ch=
oices, lasagna, casseroles and other combination dishes.<br clear=3D"none">

The book closes out with a short list of other suggested articles/books to =
read and the index to this book.<br clear=3D"none">
<br clear=3D"none">
All of the dishes have the number of servings the recipe makes and the weig=
ht of one serving at the top of each page. This is a great help when planni=
ng backcountry meals! One small omission for metric users is the lack of me=
tric conversions.<br clear=3D"none">
<br clear=3D"none">
*** Note: For me and my trail mates, the serving sizes are quite a bit more=
than the "generous" portions the author indicates they are. We are general=
ly over-stuffed. I have compensated for that by doubling the recipe and if,=
for example that would make eight servings; I bag it as three meals for th=
ree people.<br clear=3D"none">
<br clear=3D"none">
The recipes are clearly written in a chronological manner where the ingredi=
ents are not listed at the top of the recipe followed by the directions but=
rather the ingredients are introduced as the directions proceed. This took=
a bit to get used to for me as when I cook, I usually would read the ingre=
dients and gather them all before starting the process. However, thanks to =
the fact that the ingredients are in bold type, I still am able to pick the=
m out first. And I do like that the amounts are right there listed in the d=
irections as I go along.<br clear=3D"none">

Breakfast To Go<br clear=3D"none">
<br clear=3D"none">
For instance:<br clear=3D"none">
<br clear=3D"none">
One of the simplest and most tasty breakfast recipes is the "Instant Oatmea=
l" which doesn't even need the process of dehydration and is written in the=
consistently used format as below:<br clear=3D"none">
<br clear=3D"none">
1. Grind to a powder in a blender or food processor:<br clear=3D"none">
2 cups regular rolled oats<br clear=3D"none">
1/4 cup any variety nuts<br clear=3D"none">
<br clear=3D"none">
2. Place the powder in a plastic bag and add:<br clear=3D"none">
1 cup instant dry milk<br clear=3D"none">
1/2 cup packed brown sugar<br clear=3D"none">
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon<br clear=3D"none">
1/4 cup any variety chopped dried fruit<br clear=3D"none">
<br clear=3D"none">
3. In camp, cover with water 3 inches above level of food in pot. Stir whil=
e bringing to a boil. Serve immediately.<br clear=3D"none">
<br clear=3D"none">
This is so good that I keep a container on hand even at home. So much bette=
r than the instant packets sold in grocery stores!<br clear=3D"none">
<br clear=3D"none">
I have personally cooked, dehydrated, packed-in, rehydrated and eaten every=
single hot breakfast combination and hot cereal recipe in this book! I als=
o can recommend the toasted bagels and hummus and bruschetta spreads for lu=
nches. <br clear=3D"none">

<br clear=3D"none">
Love the Cowboy Pasta recipe for a very hearty dinner as well. I haven't re=
ally experimented too much with the seafood dishes as I'm not sure I like t=
he idea of fish smells in the bear-country I usually backpack in! Doesn't s=
eem like a good idea to me though on one day hike in flat open desert, we d=
id enjoy one of the tuna casseroles.<br clear=3D"none">
<br clear=3D"none">
In closing, this is my go-to backpacking dehydrating cookbook. I have sever=
al but I use this one the most.<br clear=3D"none">

STARRING ATTRACTIONS<br clear=3D"none">
<br clear=3D"none">

Trail Mate, Julia, Enjoying Lunch.<br clear=3D"none">
<br clear=3D"none">
Since my most frequent trail mates are my son, a professional chef and my d=
aughter-in-law, a amateur gourmet cook, I have never had to eat store-bough=
t backpacking meals or subsist on food bars when I backpack. And since I tr=
y to pull my own weight, I make it a point to contribute my share of the gr=
ub on the trail. With Backpack Gourmet, I am confident my meals are nutriti=
ous and delicious as well. I use this book a lot - as a matter of fact, I h=
ave a Cowboy Pasta meal dehydrating right now as I type and as usual, the w=
hole house smells wonderful!<br clear=3D"none">
<br clear=3D"none">
I can heartily recommend this book (and I have - my daughter-in-law also ha=
s it now) to anyone who wants good food when hiking, backpacking and campin=
g and doesn't want the high salt, preservatives and the price of pre-packag=
ed, off-the-shelf dehydrated meals.<br clear=3D"none">
