 Lipsmackin' Backpackin' - a compendium of excellent recipes June 11, 2004
15 out of 16 found this review helpful
Tim and Christine spent many hours researching this book which was published in 2000. Drawing on their own experiences and that of acquaintances, Tim and Christine have provided us with yummy recipes that reflect many cultures and tastes.
Most of the recipes require at home preparation. Many call for dehydrating or drying the food and then re-hydrating it on the trail. The book has a nutritional breakdown for each recipe and packable cooking directions to take with you on the trail. There are even instructions on how to grow your own fresh sprouts in your backpack.
I've tried several of the recipes with great success. You will find everything from almonds to zucchini in this resource. You'll also enjoy reading the anecdotes and appreciate the way the recipe instructions are divided into two parts; at home and on the trail. There are recipes for both vegetarians and meat eaters. I found that I could easily modify the meat recipes to suit a vegetarian menu by increasing the amount of veggies and omitting the meat.
Lipsmackin' Backpackin' is a veritable compendium of excellent recipes with the backpacker in mind. This well written recipe book contains over two hundred pages of mouth watering recipes to enhance your outdoor experience.

Great book! August 1, 2001

I have been using this book for several months and haven't met a recipe that I didn't like. Sometimes I'll bring a meal to work to have co-workers try it out. Most of the time I have people asking to try some and they don't even know it's been dehydrated and brought back to life!
 Make sure you have a dehydrator July 30, 2001

A worthy book; however, a careful reading reveals that many of its recipes require the cook to "dry [various ingredients] in your dehydrator." This should not be a surprise to anyone who hits the trail often, but don't spend money on this book unless you have a dehydrator and are reasonably adept at operating it.
From bland to BAM! (to borrow from Emeril) November 30, 2000

If you love the outdoors but tire of a monotonous diet of granola ,ramen and peanut butter, you will be delighted with this book. I have other books but this one is the best. The Connors supply simple recipes with precise explanations on exactly how to use a dehydrator, how to reconstitute and divide the servings. I chanced (without taste testing first) the chicken curry salad and the creamy cilantro tuna salad on a 5 day backpack trip. Wow, were my friends impressed. I look forward to trying other recipes and further enhancing my reputation as a gourmet backcountry cook. Thank you,Tim and Christine!
