Books We Love: Grilling and Campfire Cooking

Grilling and Campfire Cooking from the Everyday Cookbook Collection by Jo Ann Martin and Vickie Hutchins (Gooseberry Patch Publishers).

Cowgirls working their ranch or traveling from rodeo to rodeo in their campers and having to come up with tasty meals on the fly will appreciate the new book Grilling and Campfire Cooking by Jo Ann Martin and Vickie Hutchins.  Maybe it’s the fresh air or smoky aroma, but the authors believe everything tastes better cooked over an open fire.  Some of the recipes designed for RV kitchens, backyard grilling enthusiasts, and basic campfire cooking include dishes for every meal of the day.  From Egg, Potato, and Bacon Wraps for breakfast; Chili Pepper Pork Satay and Spicy Turkey Burgers for lunch; Tangy Peach-Glazed Chicken, Lazy-Day Grilled Ribs, Cedar Plank Salmon for dinner; to Chocolate Burritos and Chuckwagon Cherry Pies for dessert.  All the recipes included in their book involve minimum time, effort, and ingredients, and yield maximum flavor.  

Grilling and Campfire Cooking is a cookbook for all who savor the delights of food with a delicious cookout taste.
