Collection of recipes, supposedly suitable for the restricted cooking possible in a recreational vehicle, sent to the publisher by readers of their earlier cookbooks.I picked up this book free during an giveaway. I have RV'd for many years, in RVs ranging from class A motor homes to little travel trailers, and while I love the lifestyle, it does require some adjustment in the kitchen. Besides having only a tiny area to work in, one has storage room for only a few pots and pans, and the well-equipped spice cabinet at home is missing. This doesn't mean you have to settle for uninteresting food, but it does require thinking about the possibilities. The ideal RV recipe would only use a few ingredients and only the most-used spices, require minimal prep, and only use one small or medium-sized pan. Sadly, many of the recipes do not meet this criterion. I can see using salt and pepper, and even garlic powder, but cilantro? Browning sauce? Parsley? Bay leaf? Chives? No room for them in my RVs. Many recipes call for 1/2 tsp or less of ingredients - I don't know any RVer who takes along tiny measuring spoons. A recipe for muffins not only requires muffin pans but would require a mixer for me - I don't do hand mixing. (The recipe is followed by a "tip" to stock "stackable, reusable silicone baking cups." I love silicone for baking but have yet to see a silicone pan that will hold its shape when liquid is poured into it. At home, the ease of cleanup is worth the hassle of fidgeting with the pan so the batter doesn't spill everywhere, but in the limited space and maneuverability of an RV the outcome would be a messy nightmare.) A chicken sandwich recipe calls for boiling three chicken breasts - I never had room for a pot big enough to hold them! I never took along cornstarch or flour, either.
