RVs are becoming a more popular vacation choice than ever, as people crave more family time and seek to avoid the anxieties and hassles of air travel.

Now, with this unique collection by seasoned RVer (and million-selling cookbook author) JoAnna Lund, vacationers and retired folks can eat as healthfully on the road as when they're at home. Lund sticks to recipes that are both easy to whip up and easy on the sodium, fat, and calories. And she also offers her old-hand traveler's survival tips, including... * storage: cupboards vs. freezers * transporting-for those potlucks and picnics * pre-trip food prep * grocery shopping: to perish or not to perish? * skillets, spatulas, and stuff * best brands for healthy eating

Good book for condensed cooking
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
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.

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!
