Camp Cookery. How to Live in Camp

By Maria Parloa

This work is a well-written guide for camping, primarily concerning cooking in the outdoors. The author Maria Parloa claims that the first important thing about camping is the tents and the next is a stove. She lists a few stoves and explains their features, followed by advice related to cleaning, clothing, and more. The various subjects she discusses in cooking are: Birds; Fish; Shellfish; Eggs; Meat; Vegetables; Bread; Puddings; Cake; Sauces and Dressings; Drinks for the Sick. The book is beneficial for freshers in camping or anyone looking to have a new cooking experience while camping. Maria Parloa (1843 –1909) was an American author of books on cooking and housekeeping, the founder of two cooking schools, a lecturer on food-related topics, and an early figure in the "domestic science" movement. She was considered America's first notable cook and one of the ingenious superstars of her field.

For a party of seven or eight, an eight-foot wall-tent, is the best. Dig a trench around the outside to avoid nocturnal baptism the first time it rains. The beds can be comfortably arranged in the rear of the tent, by laying rubber blankets on the ground; on which lay boards slightly raised for the head, and sloping to the ground at the foot. These beds should be placed so that the persons will lie with their heads at the sides of the tent and feet toward the center. On the boards spread straw, hay, or dry seaweed, then the blankets. Every thing used about the bed should be laid in the sun every day. Some prefer sleeping on the ground rolled up in a blanket; but this is imprudent, except in very dry localities.
