IF you reject boring, expensive, commercially-dried meals, or time-consuming, heavyweight cook-in-the-field meals, you do have another choice: dry your own. Since you are simply heating -- not cooking -- your home-dried meals in camp, you will use far less fuel: your pack will weigh less. With a lighter pack, and larger portions of instantly prepared, better-tasting food, your backpacking adventures will soar. Library Journal Yaffe, a librarian, camper, and author of High Trails Cookery, offers more than 150 recipes for hikers seeking an alternative to the expensive, often boring, freeze-dried prepared meals that are sold in stores. Most of them are for dishes that are completely cooked at home and dried in an electric dehydrator (or an oven), then simply rehydrated with boiling water, requiring no further cooking at the campsite. There are also trail snacks and other no-cook recipes, as well as cookies, muffins, and other baked goods. Some of the recipes are vegetarian, while others offer vegetarian (or vegan) options. For larger collections and others where camping and hiking books are popular. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
