Camp Oven Cooking

Camp Oven Cooking by Peter Lorimer and Murray Hartin is a warm, proudly Australian recipe collection born from the much-loved Great Coronavirus Camp Oven Cookoff Facebook community. Part cookbook, part snapshot of a remarkable moment, it gathers favourite dishes shared by thousands of home cooks and bush travellers across the country.

Inside you’ll find camp oven recipes shaped by real-life cooking: straightforward ingredients, practical methods, and the kind of meals that suit a crackling fire, a backyard barbecue, or a weekend away. The stories behind the dishes add an extra layer, capturing the humour, resourcefulness, and mateship that fuel classic outdoor cooking.

This is a great pick for fans of Australian outdoors books, bush cooking, caravan and camping culture, and anyone who loves community-sourced comfort food with a distinctly local flavour.

Add it to your kit and let your next cook-up start with a page-turn.
