Lets come up with our very own T&TTT Cookbook #2

[mikeschn]

Since we have a lot of new people here, I think it's time to come up with our very own T&TTT Cookbook #2.

I've created a section just for the purpose. It's called, are you ready for this, T&TTT Cookbook #2.

If you have a recipe you'd like to see in the cookbook, just post it in that section.

I'd like to see all the familiar camping favorites, as well as your new found favorites too.

Besides D.O cooking, I'd also like to see

Campfire cooking
foil cooking
tripod cooking
gas stove cooking (you know, vintage camping stoves)
camping oven cooking
skillet cooking
solar cooking (maybe)
cooking by gas lanterns (vintage again)
cooking in the rain
cooking on the grill
cooking on the smoker
cooking in a cast iron pot

of course there will be a section for beverages
garbage disposal beverages
quick mix beverages
beverages that are a must have while camping

Depending on what you guys and gals would like to see in the cookbook, that's how we'll break the sections up...

You've got some time to put on your thinking cap... we'll keep on collecting recipes until we have enough to put together a good size book.

And last but not least, here is cookbook #1. I'd like to not duplicate anything in there... http://www.mikenchell.com/images/TnTTTCookbook1.pdf

I'd also like a few more pictures then we had in cookbook number 1. So if you have a good photo of your recipe, please include that...

There's been a lot of recipes posted since cookbook #1. If you'd like to see them in cookbook, please move them or post them again in the Cookbook #2 section

Mike...

P.S. I need someone to help me compile all the recipes. Any volunteers?

Mike;
I'd be glad to help out. It's too hot to work outside very long, and I have time available. If you like, send me a PM and tell me what you need.

Super cool idea. I have been tempted to do a book myself and a pdf format works for an ereader. I will do my best to kick in some recipes or two for you.

Well, it'll probably be a few months before we start compiling the recipes... but if you are still interested in helping then, and if you are good with Microsoft Word, let me know...

Great idea! Just a suggestion if it could be accomplished. I know it will be a lot of work. Is it possible to build an index with hyper links to the actual recipes. It would be really helpful to navigate the recipes.

You are talking about inside the Cookbook PDF, right?

I expect to be around and am fairly good with Word. I also like the idea of a hyper link to recipes. How difficult is it to make that work?

That doesn't make me look very good with Word, does it? That is just one of this things I've not been able to figure out.

Yes Mike. I know how to do it in HTML for web pages, and just as easy in PDF. The PDF writer version is needed, and not everyone has it. Here is a sample instruction to help explain my suggestion.

I do have an older Adobe Acrobat 7 professional version. I would volunteer to prepare the linking prior to final release with my software. An index at the beginning page is all that is needed.

Sure, you can do that.

I'm working of some purty cover designs for both cookbooks that we can add to the PDF files when the time comes. I am assuming an 8.5 X 11 size.

May I suggest to all contributors that they thoroughly spell-check and edit for grammar and punctuation before posting their recipes to the forum.

That will save someone else a whole lot of time and work later on, right Mike?

You mean oops? You misspelled oops in a post about misspelling.

Sorry, I had to point that out.

Mike,
My name is Lianna. I am in Texas and my husband and I have almost finished our tear, Trails in the Sand.

I love to cook and would really love to help with cookbook "compiling". Let me know what I can do if you still need help. I can type, arrange, set-up...whatever.

Thanks

 

[mikeschn]

We can use your help... but we are not ready to start compiling for a few months yet... if you are still available then, we'll have lots of work for you...

Meanwhile, do you have any good camping recipes?

Thanks,

Mike...

 

[caseydog]

I need to photograph some of my recipes, but it just occurred to me that if I try any of the recipes in this forum, I should snap a photo of those dishes, too.

[Alan and Lianna]

Mike-

I am sure I can come up with some "yummy" treats to put in. I only work part-time and am good with computers, word, etc. I also agree that the links would be a fantastic idea and can do that also.

I know you have few volunteers, but, I will do whatever you need. I need a new project...
