Customer Reviews

Good book for condensed cooking

I think this cookbook is great for people who are trying to prepare hearty healthy meals, perhaps for a whole group, in a confined area with limited resources. It is obviously a great resource for people who are traveling cross country in a camper because it primarily makes use of canned and boxed nonperishable foods. For that reason, I think it is also a great resource for people who are employed full time or single people who don't keep a well stocked refrigerator with fresh foods. Further, all the recipes are written for healthy eating and have the nutritional values listed at the end of the recipes. The recipes are all straightforward and very simple, and even though the meals are healthy they do not sacrifice taste.

The Open Road Cookbook

What a great book! Minimal ingredients and wonderful sounding recipes. It's definitely coming on my next trip.

Good Food- Fast!

I like this cookbook because it kept to basic ingredients. There is nothing worse than wanting to try a recipe and having to spend extra money on ingredients you will only use in one recipe. I haven't tried any of the recipes yet, but am looking forward to it soon.

Eat Well While Traveling

I discovered this book when it was featured in Highways magazine. Learning to cook decent meals in an RV can be tricky. There's little counter space, minimal cupboard space and the fridge won't hold much, unless you have a top-of-the-line motorhome. We've figured out some easy meals on our own such as fajitas using frozen pre-seasoned meat, but it's good to expand our repetoire. I like that Lund tries to use low-fat ingredients, limited ingredients, and keep the recipes fast and easy. The nutritional info is included for each recipe.

A must have for RV'ers !

After seeing JoAnna Lund make some easy dishes on the RV Today series, I decided that I would like to have a copy of her book. This book is a must have for RV'ers and home cooks alike! The book is full of easy, healthy and tasty receipes that you can make quickly. And, with a miminal amount of ingredients, they are very simple and quick to make, making them perfect for a working family or travelling RV'er that likes to have a home cooked meal after a long day at the office or on the road. Great book!
