  1. Good recipes, not a true camping cookbook. I think Sunset tried to cram too much into this book and it turns out not having a clear direction. I thought it was going to be a “camping” cookbook, and while it has a number of such recipes (even a couple of backpacking ones), the main focus of the book is on the outdoors behind the house.
