    The Camp and Cottage Cookbook - Tonya Hughes

    Equipment

    My friend Libby is the queen of lists. I promised her I would include one good quality list in this book, so here it is. I decided on an equipment list, divided into my version of must haves and nice to haves.

    Must Have

    Hard-sided cooler

    Wine/beer bottle opener

    Can opener

    1- or 2-burner camp stove and fuel

    Large pot (3 litre minimum)

    Medium pot (1 litre minimum)

    Griddle or frying pan (25 cm minimum)

    Small cutting board

    Knife

    Large spoon (mine is wooden with the handle cut short to save space)

    Spatula (you can buy folding camp versions)

    Tinfoil

    2 wide-mouth water bottles with volume graduations

    Plate, bowl, cup, spoon, fork, and knife for each person

    Soap, dishcloth, dishtowel

    Strainer*

    Nice to Have

    Mixing bowl (collapsible bowls store easily)

    Whisk

    Plastic tablecloth with picnic table clips

    Rope and clothespins

    Extendable marshmallow forks

    Measuring cups and spoons

    Large collapsible water jug

    Grill

    Plastic serving platter

    Water filter if potable water is not available (must be effective against protozoa and large bacteria including la giardia. 0.3 micron or better is recommended)

    *My husband says this is a nice to have but I disagree. Read the story at the beginning of the pasta section and draw your own conclusions . . .

    Food Safety

    While food safety is always important, picnic table cuisine offers particular challenges. At camp we are often away from the items we normally take for granted—a constant temperature refrigerator, a freezer, and an endless supply of hot water and soap available with the flick of a finger. We often lose our gut feeling for how long things can be safely stored, and whether food is safe to eat. We either risk items that we would be unlikely to eat at home, or throw away perfectly good food just to be on the safe side. What we really need is the information to make the right decisions.

    Being sick in the outdoors is also no treat, and can either mean misery for the individual or the early end to a much anticipated holiday for the whole family. In fact, gastrointestinal problems are the number one reason for illness and evacuation from hiking trips. Despite the claims of the makers of various treatments for stomach ailments, a quick swig of pink chalky fluid will seldom restore you to full beach volleyball form.

    To help make food safety decisions, I have included the following excerpts and charts from the US Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection
