Description: A cookbook for all recreational vehicles equipped with cooking facilities, the recipes in this are divided into three major categories: top of the stove cookery, for those trailers, pick-up campers, tent campers, and motor homes that do not boast an oven; oven recipes, for those that do; and a handy group of recipes that take little or no preparation, for both. Other chapters on organizing the trailer kitchen, on equipment, food purchasing, and storage, and helpful hints in general, round out well over 200 recipes.
At the end of each of the three sections, from 10 to 12 pages have been left blank for the reader's use. This device is the result of Arlene Strom's experiences in traveling more than 100,000 miles by trailer; for at every gathering of trailer wives there was bound to be a healthy exchange of favorite recipes. Here is room to include the best ones culled en route. Furthermore, a pocket in the binding will hold loose notes until time is available to copy final choices into the book.
Illustrations by Roger W. Palmquist, who also designed the jacket, add a beguiling note to the whole picture. A separate index for the general text and top of the stove cookery, and another for oven recipes, make it easy to find supper suggestions in a hurry. An appendix provides baking charts, equivalent measures, ways to use leftovers, substitutions, and Continued from inside front flap the important Master Check List of things really necessary for a good trip -- with space to add items to fit individual family needs.
