Here is what people are saying about the NOLS Cookery
 "Best backpacking recipes" | 2010-02-21 |
| - Reviewed By Greta Hull |
| Most people think that food in the back country is at best mediocre and only good because you are hungry. However the NOLS Cookery helps come up with tasty recipes and helpful proportion guidelines for shopping. NOLS recipes are mostly from scratch whereas most people bring in already made dough or other food that is already partially cooked. |

| "Say goodbye to montonous meals!" | 2010-02-21 |
| - Reviewed By Emily Gercke from Bloomington, IN |
| This book is essential for anyone taking trips longer than 3-4 days, after which you'll get tired of pasta. Not only does it have great recipes and ideas, but it has good reference material for how much to pack, nutritional requirements, etc. This book saved our tongues and tummies on my 28 day trip in Alaska, and as we got more adept with the stove (MSR Whisperlite) we could advance to the more difficult recipes. Who would have thought you could bake in the backcountry? |

 "A classic..." | 2007-09-20 |
| - Reviewed By M. Ziebell from prescott, AZ United States |
One of the best of the many How-to-cook-in-the-backcountry books. Might as well buy a good digital kitchen scales along with the book since the so-called "NOLS System" is primarily weight based. I give it four stars because of it's claims regarding NOLS invention of the system (which worked great for the Greeks 2K years before Petzolt and his ilk laid claim to it). Next thing you know they're going to claim they invented wilderness First Aid.
Oh wait! They already did: Nols Wilderness First Aid (Nols Library)

| "A unique perspective on cookery techniques" | 2007-04-14 |
| - Reviewed By Brian Connors from Cape Cod, MA |
I'm a window shopper at outdoors stores. I like the stuff they sell, but I'm a basement rat, the sort of person who might go into convulsions without a nearby internet connection or even a cellular signal. I am most assuredly not NOLS material. But I love this book.
From the perspective of a kitchen geek, this is a pretty cool book because it explains the challenges of cooking in the outdoors, especially without a premade meal plan. The gear is very different from what might exist in a typical kitchen -- campstoves little bigger than bunsen burners, cooking pans of appalling thinness and lightness, interesting uses for gear that no one would even consider in a normal kitchen, ingredients that a "serious" cook would never touch. But it all works, and this is a no-panic guide to getting it to work. This edition adds extensive nutritional information about the recipes, essential to backpackers who need to keep their calorie intake up or limit some aspect of their meal ingredients such as salt or fat.
An interesting point about the recipes is that a great many of them are vegetarian. It seems meat does not travel well in the backcountry, so with a very few exceptions (stock bases, beef jerky, bacon bits, etc) a large amount of the recipes use more backpack-stable meat substitutes such as TVP or beans to bulk out the finished dish. The recipes go from the simple (polenta and other boiled grains, soups) to the ambitious (yeasted breads) to the highly unusual (NOLS specialties such as Phil's Power Dinner, apparently a distant, meatless relative of oyako donburi made with couscous or bulgur wheat). Extensive information is provided on ration planning, and virtually nothing requires at-home preparation (a departure from most backpacking cookbooks).
The one gotcha of this book: know your sources. Some of the ingredients this book uses are NOLS-issued, and you will need to find substitutions for some of them, so familiarize yourself with companies that specialize in camping food so you know where to order your ingredients. Also, their process of packing bulk rations in unmarked bags and distinguishing them by taste when necessary strikes me as being a little brute-force -- while it's always useful to be able to do, is it really that hard to slip a sharpie in your backpack so you can label the flour and potato flakes out on the trail? |
