About the book.

The book takes you beyond the standard campfire fare of hot dogs and canned beans into gourmet grub that your friends won’t believe you made in the wild. (Just don’t tell them how easy it actually was, even with your limited arsenal of kitchen tools.)

It covers all that goes into preparing for a car camping or RV camping trip, from stocking a non-perishable pantry to packing a cooler the right away. It features a variety of recipes for cooking on a camp stove, cast-iron pan, Dutch oven, foil packs, and grill, as well as tips for putting together a satisfying meal when you’re on the go or pulling in late to camp.

If you’re dreaming of all the places you’ll go this summer (or fall, or any time of year), make sure to pack a copy of The New Camp Cookbook and be the envy of other campers.

More about The New Camp Cookbook:

Hands down the best book I’ve read on outdoor cooking!!

Good all around techniques and great recipes to take your camping experience to the next level. We have been camping and cooking for over 15 years and mainly have done the basics plus some experimenting with Dutch oven. This book made us rethink how to make great food even while camping. Easy to follow and contains lists of what ingredients to pack and what supplies to collect and bring for what you want to do. Contains recipes for breakfast, lunch, supper as well as snacks!

Praise for The New Camp Cookbook

Real reader reviews

I can’t rave enough about this cookbook! We purchased a pop up camper and are newbies to camping for the most part. Loved her information on setting up the camp kitchen, cooking in bear country, beginner advice on cast iron camp cooking etc. Information was there but brief and inclusive of what you need. The book visually is beautiful and well organized. She has “use it up” tips on ingredients which is helpful. The recipes themselves seem very doable and not so “gourmet” that everyone wouldn’t like them. We aren’t meat eaters and there were many veg recipes in the book (or ones easy to modify).
—M. Gibson
There are so many cookbooks out there, but this one is so practical because they put a lot of thought into what’s actually feasible while camping. I appreciate the simplicity of the recipes, while putting interesting spins and complex flavors to them. The pizza with grapes and fontina cheese is something I never would have tried otherwise, and it’s now one of my favorite things to make… and of course eat! I also love that there were a lot of vegetarian options. There’s a page on ideas for various non-traditional s’mores, and that’s quite possibly the best page of the book to try out around the fire on a Friday night!
—Lauren
Full of recipes for sauces and condiments that I’d heard of but never seen anywhere. There are also fantastic side dishes, the Mexican Street Corn Salad has become the most requested recipe I’ve ever made for parties and family gatherings. And the Chai Tea Concentrate is always in my fridge now. Get your copy soon, this is an excellent cookbook.
—Amazon Customer
Oh wow… this is a realllly nice cookbook. I am planning my next camping trip meal plan with this book and I am so excited to try everything. My camp meals, while yummy, were getting a bit predictable. Update: I’ve now tried a bunch of the recipes… all a major hit. This is by far my favourite camp cookbook.
—M.
We purchased this book for our last camping trip and fell in love with it instantly. My husband and I do a lot of car camping (borderline glamping) and it was a nice addition to our camp menu. Some of the recipes are slightly involved (I can’t imagine only cooking from this for our entire trip) but it was fun to substitute a few special meals. Easy to follow instructions and helpful tips. One tip is make sure you prep as much as you can before you leave for your trip. If you are looking to make something a little more than hot dogs, biscuits and jerky this book is for you.
—Diana
I am loving my new camp cookbook by Linda Ly! She’s inspired me to branch out and try new recipes while either camping in the great outdoors, or grilling in our own backyard!! So many fabulous recipes – I can’t stop my mouth from watering with each turn of the page!!! Great work, beautiful book and photos with loads of valuable knowledge and delicious inspiration around the outdoor kitchen. Thank you, Linda!!! 🙂
—Barb
It is exactly what I was looking for in a gourmet camp cookbook! It’s a great quality hardback book with amazing pictures and easy to understand recipes. They even give helpful tips for how to create the best camp kitchen. Even though it’s technically a camping cookbook, you can obviously make the recipes at home too, over the grill or in the oven. I’m making the Moroccan chicken and tomato mint salad next week. Yum.
