Happy Meals on Wheels: RV Cooking

By Carla Evans

Quality food is an important part of an enjoyable RV camping trip. But who wants to spend all of his or her time in the kitchen? America's Best RV Cookbook by Joyce Ryan offers delicious, easy-to-prepare meals and recipes especially suited to RV cooking.

The cookbook provides practical information, 381 thoroughly tested recipes, and 108 menus that will help you to successfully combine your love of camping and good food. Learn how to efficiently equip your RV, stock its pantry, and deal with the perplexing problem of limited space. A handy substitution list is also included for those times when you are in the boondocks and discover you are missing a key ingredient.

The author believes camping vacations are a time to relax and enjoy beautiful surroundings, not stress-out in the kitchen. "I discovered long ago on my first camping trip that cooking in an RV was an adventure," she said. "Although my RV's kitchen was similar to my kitchen at home, there were differences, most obviously much less space which made preparing meals and storage a challenge.

"With time and practice, I adapted my favorite recipes to RV cooking that are simple and quick to prepare, and use as few ingredients as possible. My goal was delicious, no-fuss food with sacrificing flavor for convenience."

Joyce Ryan has 20 years of RV/camper cooking experience. She is the author of the acclaimed The Happy Camper's Gourmet Cookbook and America's Best Cheesecakes.
