Outdoor Cooking

Norwegian title: Mat på tur

Photography by Carl Jonas Forsberg

What do you pack in your backpack when you’re going for a hike, to actually be able to have a nice meal while you’re enjoying nature? Get rid of the sweaty, stale sandwiches, and let John Hobberstad show you how to easily cook gorgeous meals, using either a portable gas stove or a bonfire.

The book includes 50 recipes for breakfasts, dinners, and desserts you can enjoy on your adventures or hikes, without having to stress or spend hours prepping and planning. A few examples include a quick kebab, fish gratin, taco soup and spicy adventure stew. Blueberry cakes, brownie cookies and custard buns also run the risk of becoming your new favourite outdoor snacks.

The book also includes tips on how to dry your own backpacking food at home, for a tasier, chaper and healtiher version to store-bought dried meals. The book also shares the author's best tips for packing to make sure you bring everything you need for both short and long hikes.
