There is nothing more satisfying than enjoying a good meal at the end of a long day in the great outdoors. After personal safety and comfort, the quality and quantity of food can make or break an adventure trip. In The Outdoor Chef, author Dian Weimer shows hungry readers how to pack, carry, and cook great outdoor meals that help make the experience memorable--for all the right reasons. She offers over 100 expedition-tested recipes for satisfying camp meals, plus valuable planning and packing strategies. With a little thought and some time preparing menus in advance, happy eating on a hiking, canoe, rafting, or kayak trip can be as much a part of the adventure as the destination.

First time author, Dian Weimer, was born and raised in Vancouver, BC. Although she has always had a love of the sea, she was unprepared for the passion that has become part of her middle-aged life adventure paddling trips in kayaks and canoes. Although age has not diminished her thirst for adventure, her tolerance for poorly planned meals on trips has grown thin. Over the years she has shared her camp culinary prowess with many paddlers, young and old, and after much encouragement, Dian decided to share her commitment and secrets for eating well in the wild with the rest of the world.
