Viv Moon’s OUTDOOR COOKBOOK

With 178 great recipes, this very popular and informative book has been written specifically to help you get the most out of cooking during your travels, whether you are 4WD touring, camping, caravanning, overlanding or simply holidaying. Now available as an ebook, it retains the look and feel of the printed book.

The recipes throughout the book are easy, simple and delicious, using ingredients that are readily available wherever you may be travelling and have been carefully selected and adapted to suit cooking in a wide range of circumstances. 

Discover how simple it is to use a camp oven to make great bread, fluffy scones, succulent roasts and more. Learn the skills needed to cook well over an open fire, or simply enjoy the recipes that can be cooked on top of your gas stove or in your caravan’s kitchen.

This book will enable you to cook confidently and successfully as well as expand your cooking skills and help you serve up simple yet interesting and satisfying meals to your family, while on your travels, or for that matter, at home.

The directions for each recipe are also given in tablespoon and cup measurements, so it makes it easy to use the correct amount for each ingredient and is easily adapted to use in overseas countries.


There are also extensive and informative chapters on Meal Planning, Food Preparation & Packing, as well as Outdoor Cooking Know-how. There is also a comprehensive section on Measures & Conversions, which includes Handy Charts, Weights and Measures which will help you convert weights to cup measurements for a whole range of ingredients.

This cookbook is a culmination of many years of outdoor cooking experience and expertise, now passed onto you. Viv has also written a second cookbook, Viv Moon's Travellers’ Cookbook, which has even more great and all-new recipes to use in conjunction with this book.


About the Authors: 

Viv Moon commenced writing her Campfire Cooking column in the national 4x4 Australia magazine over 26 years ago, and today her column is still one of the most popular features in that magazine.

Over the last 30 years or more Viv has been called upon to cater and cook on a number of large 4WD expeditions and for TV documentary shoots in remote areas. Planning and preparation were essential, with no supermarket or roadhouse nearby to replenish supplies, and many skills, not only cooking, were honed during those trips. Her meals and cooking prowess are highly regarded by many far and wide.

Ron & Viv Moon are well recognised travel writers specialising in out of the way places and their knowledge of all things to do with touring both in Australia and overseas, including cooking in the great outdoors, is vast and extensive. Together they have also written 14 guidebooks, produced a variety of videos and write for a wide range of magazines. Their very popular guidebooks on Cape York, the Kimberley, the Flinders Ranges and Across the Bight & Nullarbor are also available as ebooks.


Ron was also the long time editor of 4x4 Australia magazine for 15 years and for the last 15 years has had more of a roving and exciting role as 4x4’s Editor-at-Large. Viv has had a cooking column in 4x4 Australia magazine for over 26 years and has two best selling outdoor cookbooks to her credit.
