Lipsmackin' Vegetarian Backpackin'
Vegetarian
recipes for the trail by Tim and Christine Conners

 The
team at OAC really enjoyed the first book by Tim and Christine Conners
and now the couple has come out with a second book in the Lipsmackin'
Backpackin' series that is completely vegetarian.
Recipes include Fabulous
Fry Brownies, Miso Madness, Algonquin Apple Leather and a series
of bread recipes that would make any backpacking trip more enjoyable.
There are great dishes for each meal time and some wonderful GORP
ideas. The book has a range of drinks, fruit leathers and decadent
desserts. I was pleasantly surprised when I found a recipe for
Coleslaw which is dehydrated at home and rehydrated on the trail.
The recipes are tested
numerous times to ensure that they turn out well on your adventures.
The gang here did a little of the testing to help out. We even
found that the Green Dragon Pad Thai tastes great once you get
past its vibrant color. Trailside instructions are printed with
each recipe and again in the back of the book. The packable trailside
cooking instructions are perfect for placing in the zipper bag
with the food contents. The cut-outs appear in the same order
as the recipes for easy finding. I would recommend downloading
and printing the instructions which are provided by the publisher
at http://www.globepequot.com/docs/LipsmackinVeg.pdf
allowing you to keep the book intact.
Although Lipsmackin'
Vegetarian Backpackin' is a meatless collection of good eats,
it is a book easily enjoyed by all.

Editors Note:
This book also has a special place in the hearts of the OAC team.
At first glance one might think that this is because a handful
of my favourite recipes are included in the book, although having
some Canadian content is great that is not the entire reason.
You see, last summer we had the opportunity to meet the Conners
for the first time when they joined us for a canoe trip in Algonquin
Park's Barron Canyon.
I
will always remember Christine and Tim sharing treats like the
Fabulous Fry Brownies, hot off the pan, while sharing their stories
of the backcountry. Their children were an inspiration and I was
delighted to see some of the photos of the Conners children in
the book. After a moment I realized that these photos were from
their Canadian canoe adventure.
The Fabulous
Fry Brownie recipe can be found in the backcountry
kitchen archive.
