5 Cookbooks for Cabin Living

Few feelings rival that of cozying up in a cabin with loved ones, enjoying a warm meal. But deciding what, exactly, to cook for said meal can be a challenge, especially if your cabin is in a particularly remote locale or you don’t use it very much.

Fortunately, these cookbooks make deciding what you want to eat on your next cabin adventure a breeze. They take into account the unique challenges of cooking in the wilderness, providing delicious, easy-to-make recipes that will perfectly complement your cabin retreat.

 

The Camp & Cabin Cookbook

This gem of a cookbook focuses on simple recipes that perfectly lend themselves to cabin living. You can whip up tasty options like Jalapeno Popper Hasselback Sweet Potatoes, Carne Asada Street Tacos, and Peach and Blueberry Cobbler with Chai Topping. Even better, the recipes offer options for cooking indoors or outside over the open fire, so it’s an invaluable companion no matter how primitive your locale.

 

A Cabin Full of Food

One of the biggest challenges of cabin cooking is that many of us don’t use our cabins full-time, so they may not be stocked with the standard cooking supplies you’d find in a year-round kitchen. But this book solves that problem, offering a list of non-perishable items that you can keep stocked in your cabin pantry and corresponding recipes that are as easy to make as they are delicious.

Feast by Firelight: Simple Recipes for Camping, Cabins, and the Great Outdoors

This is another great book that offers options for cooking in your cabin’s kitchen and outside over an open fire. The solution-oriented recipes are accompanied by shopping and equipment lists, detailed menus, and tips for how to prep before you head out to your cabin. And with options like Honey-Coriander Glazed Pork Chops and Banh Mi Pad Thai Noodles, you’ll be eating like royalty.

 

Dirty Gourmet: Food for Your Outdoor Adventures

Featuring more than 120 tasty recipes, this book emphasizes healthy eating with fresh ingredients, efficient techniques, and global flavors. You can use the book to make everything from trail snacks to gourmet dinners to decadent desserts, and each of the recipes is specially tailored to the outdoor lifestyle.

Cabin Cooking

One of the more robust cookbooks on our list, Cabin Cooking offers 140 easy-to-prepare recipes that can be cooked on the stove, on the grill, or over an open fire. Each recipe has short cooking times, so you can spend less time cooking and more time eating and relaxing.
