Cooking On A Stick: Campfire Recipes for Kids (Acitvities for Kids)

I got this book at the library, but then came now online to purchase it. The ideas presented were fun and easy. I hadn't used tin foil on the campfire before, and the author gave some good ideas for that as well as items to be cooked on a stick. For example, I loved the idea about melting chocolate and bananas in the banana peel wrapped in tin foil. One reviewer commented about the use of perishables in the recipes. That wasn't a concern for us because of the refrigerator in our trailer. I suppose one could put the food items in an ice chest as long as one could drive to his/her campsite. I highly recommend this book. It's fun and easy food for families while camping.

This book gave me a lot of good ideas when I took my daycare kids camping this summer. They liked most of the recipes, but we tailored some of them to their liking. It was a great book.

This is a fun book for kids, and has a lot of common sense easy recipes they can follow. It starts off by teaching the basics of building a campfire, especially the safety involved, and putting out the fire. It has sections on cooking on a grill, cooking in a pouch, and on a stick. If you havne't doen these it is hard to describe, since they do not mean an animal on a spit here. This is good for cub scouts or other youth groups to teach basic cooking skills to kids in the woods.

This book is well written and beautifully illustrated. It expands the basic recipe file of backpacking campers to include many delicious meals. This is a great resource for those who are just beginning their camping experiences, especially scout leaders who need to teach their young scouts how to cook over an open flame.

COOKING ON A STICK (and in a pouch and on a grill) is a great little cookbook for kids.The pictures are bright and colorful, safety issues are clearly dealt with, and the recipes are fun and tasty. Who can resist Moose Lips
