It’s summer vacation and a camping trip seems in order, but your group’s not interested in eating packaged rice and tofu-dogs for a week. Another Fork in the Trail is the vegetarian and vegan sequel to the backcountry cookbook A Fork in the Trail and your solution to eating like the king of the forest.

Laurie Ann March offers more than 120 recipes designed for hikers, paddlers, campers and picnic-goers who prefer a veggie-themed menu. With an emphasis on nutritious food that keeps you going, these recipes range from quick and easy to decadently gourmet. Each recipe includes instructions for at-home preparation and drying and the finishing touches at camp. With helpful tips on packaging and travelling with camp-friendly food, this book is the definitive guide to tasty, easy-to-pack-with-you meals that will revolutionize the way you eat on the trail.

Try smoky lentil pâté, agave granola with goji berries, or tofu jerky. Expand your horizons with olive tapenade, red quinoa and curried lentil stew, and yummy fruit cookies. You’ll never go hungry with this book in your backpack.
