Getting in touch with nature doesn't need to mean subsisting on energy bars, canned beans, and prepackaged meals. With these easy-to-follow recipes, you can use your camp stove, fire pit, or home grill to whip up restaurant-worthy food that will satisfy any gourmand.

Toss the trail mix, leave the hot dogs at home, and plan a totally new approach to outdoor eating:

• Wake up to Bananas Foster French Toast cooked on the camp stove
• Pack a Smoked Salmon and Wasabi Aram Sandwich for an on-the-go hiking lunch
• Relax by the fire with a Savory Cheese S'mores snack
• Feast under the stars on Mustard and Rosemary Lamb Chops and Roasted Beets with Citrus Dressing
• And cook dozens more delicious recipes right at your campsite!

Outdoor Gourmet includes advice on choosing a camp stove and stocking your kitchen-away-from-home, storage strategies for fresh foods, and tips for making your new favorite camping meals in a traditional kitchen or backyard grill so you can keep vacation going all year.
