It's spring, and the rivers are swelling with melt from winter snows. If you are a dedicated river runner--even if you are a novice--you are bound to be running rapids in your dreams and making plans for river trips in your waking hours. And those plans must include food. Perhaps you have assumed that river running trips are a mandate for eating only trail mix, granola, and freeze-dried food. Not so, Patricia Chambers, an experienced white-water guide, has menu plans and recipes that will keep you and your companions well-fed, whether your trip is day-long, week-long, or month-long. You will learn how to store food properly without refrigeration, how to prepare a delicious variety of one-pot or Dutch oven meals, and how to make menu planning the boon it can be rather than the hassle it may seem to be for the uninitiated. Fill your plates or bowls with the likes of Delores River Tabouleh, Suwannee Black Beans and Rice, Desolation Canyon Garbanzo Curry, or Cataract Canyon Lasagna and top it off with Creamy Pumpkin Pie for dessert and you will have joined the ranks of kayakers, canoeists, and rafters who eat with the same gusto that they run rivers. - from Amzon
