Wilderness Trips Cookbook

From Aaron Laflamme, Chewonki’s Outdoor Equipment & Logistics Coordinator:

Long a staple of Chewonki trips, the Wilderness Trip Cookbook has traveled throughout Maine, the Northeast and beyond dispensing culinary wisdom. Loaded with nutritional facts, cooking methods, and recipes, it has everything the backcountry chef needs to prepare adventure ready meals.

Check out the often overlooked falafel recipe on page 27. It’s a great meal that is simple to pack and easy to prepare in the field. There’s nothing like a little Mediterranean flavor after a long day of traveling through the woods and waters of Maine.

You can find a copy on the Wilderness Trips Meals page. So take a look, get inspired, and cook outside!

Spring is the season to come together and push toward our $1M goal before summer arrives on the Neck.
