Reviews

Foodie Camping at its Best

"We love camping especially with great food. This book has great recipes with really clear instructions. Prepping ahead of time made it easy to make a great meal in the woods. The skewers are our favorite recipe so far."

— Jojo (5/5)

Dark illustration

"Returned, pages very dark in colour. Most of the recipes I would not try."

— Alli (1/5)

Christmas Gift

"This is a gift for my parents for Christmas! I looked over the cookbook and the recipes look great!"

— Heather C. (5/5)

Hiking mom loves it!

"Gifted this to my mom who is a big hiker and she loves it! She says the different sections on what to prep and what to bring is so helpful & adores the different meal ideas to switch up the hiking meals!"

— Julia (4/5)

Great Recipes For the Car Camper or Cabin Dweller/Vacationer

"There are some really fun and interesting recipes in cook it wild! Definitely a book that we'll try more of throughout the summer. I do think comparatively with some of my favourite cookbook authors that it's got a little less substance (less recipes included than I hoped for) and its more for the car camper/cabin/cottager than the backpacker."

— Ashley (3/5)

Would love a sequel especially for backpacking and backcountry canoing

"These recipes look delicious and are definitely inspiring. A surprising number require a cooler, though, and with ""wild"" in the title I was expecting a backcountry focus. When the backcountry sequel comes out, I will buy it for sure!"

— Jerg (3/5)

Beautiful Practical Book

"Gave this book as a birthday gift to a friend who loves good food as well as kayaking - he loved it! Such a beautiful, practical and unique gift."

— Marjer (5/5)

Easy gifting

"The book was easy to order and pickup was efficient. The book itself is beautiful illustrated and well written."

— Gwen E. (5/5)

Great gift

"Great cookbook - many delicious recipes to take along"

— Lyamauchi (5/5)

Inspirational

"Many of good ideas, laid out in an easy-to-use format. While there are not as many recipes as some books, and it isn't as focused (recipes for everything from ultralight hikers to RV dwellers), I suspect everyone who eats could find something new and exciting within. I'm looking forward to bringing these ideas to canoe trips next summer."

— Canoehead (5/5)

FINALIST FOR THE 2023 BANFF MOUNTAIN PRIZE IN GUIDEBOOKS

An Epicurious and Globe and Mail Best Cookbook of 2023

“I’m someone who loves the outdoors but truly sucks at actually being in the wilderness. Chris has thought of every single thing you need to cook amazing food outside, and how to make it easy. Cook It Wild showed me I can enjoy our incredible planet and still have a killer meal at the end of the day.”
—Matty Matheson, chef, actor, and author of Matty Matheson: Home Style Cookery

“If you like to camp, this exuberant book will change your life. Even if you don't, it's filled with terrific do-ahead dishes and smart kitchen tips that will make your life much easier.”
—Ruth Reichl, author of Save Me the Plums
 
“I adore this book for at least two hundred reasons. Here are my top three: First, Cook It Wild is packed (pun intended) with the exact info you need to make every meal a delicious wilderness adventure. Second, Chris Nuttall-Smith is the definition of a 'pro'-a stellar cook and an equally accomplished outdoorsman. I would trust him implicitly, with my dinner and my life. And third, with Cook It Wild, there's no excuse for mediocre meals. It's a campfire game changer.”
—Gail Simmons, food expert, TV host and author of Bringing It Home
 
“Cook it Wild is bursting from its binding with ideas. The first quarter of this book reads like a grown-up Scout's guide full of tips on how not to just survive in the wild, but thrive indulgently—and that's before you get to a single mouthwatering recipe! (Of which there are many.) Roughing it has never looked so polished.”
—David Zilber, chef, New York Times bestselling coauthor of The Noma Guide to Fermentation
 
“Chris actually makes me feel like I can camp! That I can conquer the outdoors and honestly, like I can conquer anything. Chris's tips and tricks to prepare for outdoor living are fantastic. Not only does he cover must-haves but makes it sound reasonable, approachable, and so incredibly tasty!” —Eden Grinshpan, television host and author of Eating Out Loud
 
“I never thought I'd say, 'I need to go camping!' but that's all I can think after reading Chris Nuttall-Smith's fantastic new book. It's smart, it's insightful, and it makes me want to cook outdoors. Chris has convinced me that his recipes are actually going to taste even more delicious eaten around a campfire.”
—Amanda Cohen, chef and owner of Dirt Candy

“[Chris Nuttall-Smith]’s first book, Cook It Wild, is packed with easy summer recipes designed for cooking outside, at the cottage, in your backyard or at the condo. [T]hese dishes are simply spectacular.”
—House & Home
