This evocative cookbook invites kids of all ages to the table for more mouthwatering innovative outdoor fare put together by the James Beard Award-nominated author of Wild: Adventure Cooking.
In her first cookbook, Sarah Glover showed the world how liberating, satisfying, and easy it is to cook beautiful healthy food outdoors. Now she brings kids of all ages into the mix, proving that they too can take part in collecting, preparing, and cooking campfire meals the whole family can enjoy. Glover's simple yet elegant meals are inspired by the land and the sea: fish and ears of corn dangled on a stick over an open flame; perfect bread baked directly on hot coals; kale and potatoes simmered in saltwater; eggs fried alongside spicy sausage and toast; chili-brined cherry tomatoes--and more. Glover emphasizes fresh seasonal food that can be acquired locally. And, while her techniques date back to ancient traditions, the flavors are distinctly modern. Brimming with gorgeous landscape photography from across the Australian continent, this stylish yet down-to-earth cookbook encourages families to embrace the outdoors, teaches young chefs valuable techniques and life skills, and proves once again that everything tastes better cooked over an open flame.

Praise:
"My granddaughter Jude, seven at the time, helped prepare the salmon, and the cake. Truman, six, prepared the octopus, split the lobsters and shelled the fava beans. And we, our small group, ate a spectacular feast with Sarah, in Tasmania. The teaching of young people to enjoy and learn and practice sustainable living, healthy eating habits, family farming, and the organic growing of fruits and vegetables is Sarah Glover's goal in this new and wonderful book, and I hope her message is carried far and wide. Our children deserve to know." — Martha Stewart
"Whether you are on an adventure in the outback or your back garden, Wild Child is the book you need in your rucksack! Sarah's recipes are wholesome, fun and inspiring, but also practical and will have your kids (and you!) learning lifelong skills and appreciating the fresh and tasty produce you didn't know existed right outside your front door! Wild Child serves up tasty dishes with a huge dollop of adventure — I love it!" — Gordon Ramsay
