Overland Journal's new "Overland Chef" column

[DesertRose]

The Fall 1008 issue of Overland Journal is debuting an Overland Chef section - recipes for great food and tips on gear, storage, and provisioning for long and short trips.

What we'll try to do is feature one recipe and maybe a new piece of equipment, and then offer the full menu on our website blog. In Fall, I tried the GSI pressure cooker. Now I'm hooked on pressure cooking!

We'll be hoping that all you overland chefs out there will contribute ideas, tips, and recipes.


Fall 2008 featured this menu:

Starters & Drinks ~ Spiced Nuts and Dried Fruit, Dawas for sipping

Dinner ~ Chicken en Adobo with Tropical Lentil Salad, Grilled Zucchini and Green Chile

Wine Pairing ~ For white, a soave or vernaccia di gimignano; for red, a rioja

Dessert ~ Grilled Mango with Honey

Equipment for this menu: Two-burner stove (one-burner will work as well); pressure cooker (I use the GSI 3.5-quart hard-anodized model, only 4 pounds, is compact, and cleans up easily); grill for campfire

Wow, looking forward to the articles.
When does the fall issue ship?

Already read the last issue twice

PS, I had to Google that cooker to see more about it.

I think it is a great idea! I can't wait to try it. Any chance you could eventually move the recipes to another section of the site so we don't have to search through the blog for different recipes? Maybe having a bunch side by side could lead to a good overland cookbook?

When does the fall issue ship?

It shipped on the 30th I got mine yesterday it looks great!

Glad you like it! You can sort the posts using categories on the left side column, and it will show only "Overland Chef" if you choose that category. Hmmm, Overland Cookbook, now I like that idea!

Great! It's got a lot more pages - 128 inside pages now. Enjoy!

GSI pressure cooker


A high-quality piece of gear. I use it in my home kitchen all the time, too.

GSI makes great stuff.

I'm hungry now.

Ah I didn't see that. Looks like that will work perfect to sort it out! Thanks
