We love it when readers share information and new ideas. Sonja contacted us recently about Food to Go and asked how many vegetarian recipes there were in the eBook. She is heads off on many multiday trips in Australia and was looking for some new ideas.
There is a vegetarian backpacking food section in Food to Go but it is not massive. We sent Sonja a copy to check it out i.e. if she was not happy, she did not have to pay for it.
The upshot of these communications was we did a swap, Sonja received a free copy of Food to Go and she sent us some great vegetarian bushwalking meal options!

Finding protein to add to meals when you are hiking or bushwalking can be challenging. Without refrigeration, your backpacking food options options are limited to either prepackaged (like tuna), dehydrated at home or a pre-dried meat such as jerky or sausages like salami . In this article we discuss using La Chang or Chinese sausage as a great option to add to fresh food when you are backpacking in the bush.
Food to Go, our eBook on menu ideas and recipes for outdoor trips has been selling at a steady rate, although we are not quite ready to retire on the proceeds yet!
Many thanks to anyone who has purchased the book, the feedback has been very positive!
There has been some interest in producing a modified version of Food to Go to help (Mum’s and Dad’s we suspect) plan meals and menus for young people heading off on school camps or hiking trips where they have to organise their own food.

So, having just recovered from publishing edition one, we have started editing the existing book, removing a few sections that may not be relevant to young people or school …

Just a quick post to let you know we are still busily editing Food to Go, our new guide on how to eat well in the outdoors.
So,what is the current state of play?
Food to Go will be over 120 pages
It includes over 50 high quality images taken specially for the book by our co-author Deb Hadskis.
Bill Journee from Social Media Solutions is just about to start creating the masterpiece using Adobe InDesign.
We are worried it is going to be too long and have too much detail (not a bad problem to have)
It will sell in eBook format (you will download it from here) for $A19.90.
In this post we let your know the various chapter names and share some of the great images takes especially for the book by Deb Hadskis.
