Pitch Up, Eat Local: Where to Camp, What to Eat and How to Cook It

From grilling Welsh Black Beef Burgers on the barbeque, or cooking up Cromer crabs in a pot over a campfire after a day at the beach, what we cook when we camp is a memorable part of the adventure. If that food is grown in surrounding fields, caught in nearby rivers, or produced by local people, the experience is even richer—it connects us with the places we are visiting. Food can tell us the story of a place. This book is full of those stories. Pitch Up, Eat Local is the Camping and Caravanning Club’s inspiring guide to amazing places to camp, each close to great locally grown or produced foods. It is full of details and first-hand descriptions of farmers’ markets, doorstep sales, farm shops and pick-your-own, and even the campsites themselves that produce food. There are inspiring recipes to go with each campsite, from a one-pot Herdwick Lamb Curry to Yorkshire Rhubard Crumble, all easy to cook on a gas hob, barbecue, or over a fire—and all using ingredients produced in the local area. If you love food and fresh air, this book is for you.
