      Hungry Campers - Zac Williams

      Chart

      Acknowledgments

      I would like to thank everyone at Gibbs Smith for the opportunity to have so much fun writing and photographing with special thanks to Hollie Keith for expert editing and Suzanne Taylor for making it all possible. Thanks to Rita Sowins for the terrific design of the book. Continued thanks to my wife, Aimee, and kids, Ethan, Rya and Piper, for putting up with a crazy cooking dad and always waiting to taste until after I get the shot.

      Introduction: Savor Simplicity

      Camping is all about taking a detour from day-to-day life. Spending time sleeping outdoors tends to remind us of what’s important. It takes us back to the basics of comfort. A dry bed, good company and of course delicious food are all you need to enjoy yourself in the wild. Delicious food is where this cookbook comes in. By focusing on simple, easy-to-prepare meals, I hope to help campers make the most of their time outdoors.

      Recipes are arranged in chapters beginning with ideas for meals that are easy to prepare and teach basic cooking skills, and progress to more advanced gourmet preparations for those camp chefs who are looking for inspiration. Special attention is given to making the job of planning dining operations for scout troops, youth groups and families easier. Along the way, helpful tips are suggested to make your cooking experience even better. For campers and scouts looking for high adventure, an introduction to backpack cooking with recipes and menus is provided in the last chapter.

      Hopefully, this cookbook can serve as a primer for new cooks as well as a resource that makes planning easier for experienced campers. Fine dining should be at the center of any great camping adventure. My favorite childhood memories of camping include watching as my dad cooked on the old green double-burner Coleman stove. Now I share my own son’s excitement as he cooks the trout he just caught. Outdoor cooking properly done is one of the many joys experienced by those that trade a roof at home for the starry sky overhead.

      Campfire Cooking Basics

      For those new to camp cooking, a great place to start is with the basics. Cooking over a fire is perfect because all campers can participate in preparing, cooking and eating! Perfect for overnight camping trips, these basic recipes also require minimal equipment to prepare and clean up easily. Each recipe serves one.

      Stadium Brats

      Serves 1

      Equipment

      Place bratwurst, sliced onion and butter on a sheet of aluminum foil, shiny side facing up. Wrap securely, taking care to fold edges tightly. Place on the coals and cook 15–20 minutes, turning frequently.

      Serve cooked sausage on the bun and smother with cooked onions. Season with deli mustard or other condiments.

      Brown Bag Campfire Breakfast

      Serves 1

      Equipment

      Place bacon in the bottom of the bag. Crack eggs into the bag over the bacon. Add hash brown potatoes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

      Fold and roll down the top of the bag until about 3 inches above the potatoes. Insert a stick through folded portion and cook 5 to 6 inches over low coals for about 10 minutes. It helps to prop up the stick with rocks.

      Carefully tear off the top of the bag to serve. Season with hot pepper sauce.

      Sunnyside Sandwich

      Serves 1

      Equipment

      Place each egg into one of the cups filled with water. Using the tongs and gloves, carefully place each cup on the hot coals. Allow water to boil for 6 minutes, until eggs are soft-boiled.

      While eggs are boiling, place slices of
