New Book: Feast On Adventure

Paul Shipman (A Paddle Canada instructor based in Winnipeg, Manitoba) has written a cooking book based on recipes he’s tried while out on camping trips. Feast on Adventure is a 149 page book that offers some more interesting meal recipes than the ordinary cook book…

You’ve spent a long day hiking, climbing or paddling. You need a dinner that will give you the energy to do it all again tomorrow. Wouldn’t it be nice if it could taste great and be ready in minutes? Feast on Adventure proves that good food can be lightweight, convenient, and delicious.

The field-tested recipes in this book are motivated by my family’s dietary restrictions. Our quest for delicious, flavourful meals that are portable, low-mess, and free of undesirable ingredients led me to develop my own process of converting conventional recipes into single-serving backpacking dishes using freeze-dried, dehydrated, and instant foods. These trail meals are light, quick to rehydrate, and shelf-stable.

Feast on Adventure guides you through the world of freeze-dried, dehydrated, and instant foods with over forty diverse backcountry recipes. You’ll also learn how to turn your own family favourites into non-perishable camping meals. You’ll be able to customize any trail meal to meet your personal needs, managing dietary restrictions, such as allergies, intolerances, and preferences.

Preparing for an emergency? Feast on Adventure ill show you how you can best use your stockpile of emergency food reserves to set out a five-star meal for your family when disaster strikes.

The book is chock full of great photos that Paul took himself while out on trips and each recipe has been tweaked again and again until Paul was finally happy with it. The tasty looking meals include dairy-free, gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options as well.

“My first excursions into prepping “just add water” meals for my backcountry adventures involved dehydrating meals and ingredients for making meals. I was surprised at just how many ingredients tend not to rehydrate well, leaving each mouthful a risky gambit of “pebble or pea.”

Dehydrated ground beef, pork, chicken, corn, peas, and more all exhibit this propensity. Shepherd’s pie (in particular) was a veritable minefield of potential dentistry.”
