Love cooking outdoors? Men with the Pot: Delicious Grilled Meats and Forest Feasts takes outdoor cooking to a higher plain。 With the popularity of bushcrafting, and the authors who are popular TicTok personalities, Kris Szymanski and Slawek Kalkraut, this is a very timely and fun cookbook。 The recipes included are unexpected and some can be given gourmet status; it makes readers wonder: how can people cook such amazing dishes in the forest?

Men with the Pot: Delicious Grilled Meats and Forest Feasts takes outdoor cooking to a higher plain。 With the popularity of bushcrafting, and the authors who are popular TicTok personalities, Kris Szymanski and Slawek Kalkraut, this is a very timely and fun cookbook。 The recipes included are unexpected and some can be given gourmet status; it makes readers wonder: how can people cook such amazing dishes in the forest? They are absolutely appealing and there is enough variety that almost everyone will find something mouthwatering。 Many of the recipes are hearty and filling; no dainty, delicate, frou-frou here。 For those into bushcrafting, there are articles mixed in with the recipes that have instructions on creating cooking tools, as well as cooking hints, tips for starting fires in the forest, and using the correct cookware。 The recipes, while not necessarily quick and easy, are written in standard form with detailed instructions that anyone can follow。This cookbook is different from most outdoor and barbecue cookbooks that are available in most bookstores。 It is definitely a must for survivalists and bushcrafters。 It contains fabulous recipes, however, that will inspire non-outdoor people to adapt some of the recipes to prepare in their yards on the barbecue grill or even in their ovens。 This is actually a fun cookbook for everyone and one that will make a good addition to cookbook collections。Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book。 。。。more

I received this ARC in exchange for my honest review。I hate to say it but this book ~exceeded~ my expectations。 I didn't give these guys enough credit and I should have! This book was phenomenal! The pictures were soooo droolworthy and the instructions were clear。 As someone who is hesitant to forage and eat "wild" food, this did a great job of showing what is plausible and what I can buy ahead of time。 There was a great variety of recipes too。 Well done and worth it!

Gah! This looks thoroughly worth the try, from start to finish – except it's not once in the kitchen, with a good oven temperature in Fahrenheit, Celsius, fan and gas mark equivalents。 "Prepare your fire for medium heat" – yup, we have a fire。 As in, naked flame。 As in, we're supposed to want to emulate two Polish lads big on the socials, who live in or near the woods in Northern Ireland, and know what to do when it comes to toting grub through the forest, knocking up a mouthwatering dish, and g Gah! This looks thoroughly worth the try, from start to finish – except it's not once in the kitchen, with a good oven temperature in Fahrenheit, Celsius, fan and gas mark equivalents。 "Prepare your fire for medium heat" – yup, we have a fire。 As in, naked flame。 As in, we're supposed to want to emulate two Polish lads big on the socials, who live in or near the woods in Northern Ireland, and know what to do when it comes to toting grub through the forest, knocking up a mouthwatering dish, and getting all the detritus home again。 If you want to get with their programme, this is wonderful, I'm sure, but where to go for the indoors Polish rolady, Bavarian pretzels, and all the other veggie-scaring recipes featured here?OK, so if I was a halfway decent cook I could convert what we have here to a home environment, or just Give It A Go。 That said, their 'drunk salmon' sounds like the biggest enemy of smoke alarms since sliced burnt ends。 But there was space (in amongst the how-to-whittle-a-steak-mallet bumf) to drop a few guidelines。 If their name is as strong as they make out (they've yet to hit my utube algorithm) they would not dilute their shtick, and prove to many more people they can knock up a sterling recipe – and an attractive cookbook。 With all the DIY kind of outdoorsman aspects there aren't that many courses here, but stumble upon a fairy ring and get one of these on the go and I'll be damned sure you'd gain some followers, too。 。。。more

Amazing cookbook and very helpful! I'm going camping in a month and I'll be trying these recipes。 There are recipes for pastas, breads, steaks, chicken, pork and turkey。 Everything done over the fire outside (which is my favorite cooking method)。 Definitely recommend it, not just for campers but also for summer outdoor cooking。 I received a free digital copy of this book from Edelweiss in exchange for my honest review。 Amazing cookbook and very helpful!
