The end to boring camp food.
Lacey Anderson's vegetarian meal plans for camping can revolutionize your eating experience in the backcountry. I love the fact that she includes not only hardy and delicious main dishes but also creative appetizers and (my favorite part of any meal) dessert. Likewise, breakfasts and lunches are tasty and satisfying. I like the fact that her recipes also include fresh ingredients. She has proven experience about what lasts on multi-day adventures. Best of all, I don't have to married to the camp kitchen with these menus. They are simple to prepare and taste great. Even my husband can make these recipes. Thank you Lacey for putting this excellent meal plan together!

Genuine genius gourmet goddess.
Just received my copy and read it straight through. It’s no-cooler recipes are a Godsend, not to mention the many common sense ideas about food packaging, nutrition, and meal planning that are included. I’ve been boating over 40 years, including conducting many expedition-length trips, and I’ve never come across such a helpful cookbook. Stocking and maintaining iced coolers over several weeks can be a major pain, and Lacey’s thoughtful and detailed recommendations eliminate that chore. If you want to cut down on both the sheer volume of cooler space and the work & worry related to hauling refrigerated food on your trips, this is the recipe book for you. Thank you Lacey!

All the yum without all the fuss!
I'm a minimalist when it comes to outdoor cooking and meal planning. I'd rather spend my time doing in the great outdoors rather than cooking. And I'd rather not have to worry about ice and food spoiling. At the same time, I don't want to sacrifice the yum! Lacey keeps all the yum. I have every offering in the no coolers line of cookbooks. You won't be disappointed. I have a teardrop and these menus save precious space and weight. I also self-support kayak and these meals are easy to pack into my boat.

Yummy and simple recipes.
I ordered this book a few weeks ago and have gone through a good chunk of the recipes. All have been very good with many that worked for my vegan family members staying with us. I've packaged some of the recipes using freeze dried ingredients for camping this fall and look forward to having such a simple and yummy menu to go off of.

A well organized book to easy and yummy cooler-free camping!
What a treat! Lacey introduced me to some new products (canned cheese, huancaina sauce) and new ways to prepare. You can usually find me in the woods or on the water; and I like to eat well. In the past, eating well meant coolers, and heavy kitchen tools. This book keeps the all the flavor and ritual of fine camp dining, but lightens the load and simplifies multi-day planning. A keeper!

This is a great cookbook for camping! The explanations and meal plans are excellent...healthy, filling and delicious. I highly recommend Lacey's cookbook for river trips, backpacking and camping.

I am going on a 24 day 16 people GC trip and am just trying to figure it all out! I had heard of L. Anderson for years but all of a sudden her knowledge is must have for me.

Your cookbook is very fun, and is straight forward…I can even use it!

Great addition to the no coolers series!

Looking for fresh ideas for extended boating and dispersed camping trips so that we do not have to lift a heavy gigantic cooler when rigging & de-rigging or worry about the ice melting away.

In response to the question, why did you choose this book?
"Multi day trips - kayak/rafting (puma)"

Got mine❤️ already have used a few recipes 4 some long hikes❤️

I've already tried the jicama fries recipe from it (super yummy) and plan on trying a lot more.

As a long-time river runner I loved your camp food and I totally agree with your minimalist approach: no slabs of meat, no coolers, and great fun to prepare.

Lacey had all the trips meals well organized. We ate good every day – and with a lot less “real time” effort on anyone’s part than you’d imagine (the real works been done beforehand, in the planning, purchasing, and packing). With Lacey’s menus just a little cooking was required, low propane usage, and there were few dishes to wash and rinse after meals. I enjoyed not having to do a lot of “housekeeping” on the river and to not have to lug a lot of stuff around. We carried no ice, we moved light. This improved the quality of our trip.
