"What I love most about Emma's recipes is that they're incomparably delicious but not intimidating to make--and that's because she's as great a teacher as she is a chef. This book takes all the guesswork out of cooking in the great outdoors, which makes it just as much fun as camping itself."

-Justin Fenner, senior editor, Men's Journal

"There's a joy in simple things done under the sky. Listen to Emma Frisch spin the ol' dharma of woodsmoke and cicada song, creating a serenade as you prepare the best food you're ever going to make for yourself. Get lost in the stories, chill your beer in the stream, and tuck in."

-Duff Goldman, author and star of Ace of Cakes
