During a backpacking trip of over 4000 kilometers through Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala, more than 55 vegan recipes were created. The book "Outdoor Cooking" offers many ideas ranging from salsas and dips to salads, soups, main dishes, and even bread and pastries, all of which can be easily prepared on the go. Dishes like Caribbean plantain curry, campfire pizza, chipotle pineapple burgers, Mexican pozole stew, fried coconut milk buns, drunken camper pancakes, and orange peel baked monkey bread demonstrate how creative cooking while traveling is possible with a little preparation. In addition to cultural and culinary backgrounds as well as travel anecdotes related to recipes and ingredients, the book provides numerous tips on outdoor cooking. These include practical helpers for the backpacker kitchen and information on cooking utensils and methods.
