Amanda Zito is a motorcycle artist extraordinaire, but you are more likely to know her from her YouTube channel, As The Magpie Flies. And soon, you might know her from her new book—a new cookbook, to be precise.
Today, Zito’s new camping cookbook launches via Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign. This isn’t some jaded money grab with recipes ripped off the Internet, or pie-in-the-sky concoctions that use ingredients you’ll never find in a store in the rear end of Idaho. These are 60-plus recipes that are tried-and-true favorites from Zito’s own travels, made with ingredients that are mostly available at local grocery stores along the way, so you don’t have to bring along a pannier full of ingredients from home. Zito likes long-haul touring, and she’s hip to the practicalities involved. This book reflects that experience.
The book has photos and illustrations from Zito.
All the recipes only require a single-burner stove, and most require no cooler either. There’s also information on water filtration systems, advice on cookware, storing your food in bear country, disposing of scraps and lots of other sensible advice to help you get started on taking care of your food needs on the road, instead of relying on fast food and gas station snacks.
Chances are, your guts will thank you if you start eating more healthy, and you will probably save money too. And speaking of money, Zito is writing and selling this book to pay for an expedition to Alaska, which will almost certainly be filmed and put up her YouTube channel down the road—think of your payment as an investment.
We’ll have a review in the next couple of days, but pre-orders are already open. For more info, check out the Indiegogo site here. Pricing starts at $15 for a PDF copy of the book, or $38 for paperback.
