Riassunto

Do you have stored food for emergencies? Do you have recipes for tasty food from this stored food? These are recipes for stored- type foods and aren't in any regular cookbooks that I know of. This may be what you're looking for or may some day need. There is a Camping/Trail Section in this cookbook, but MANY of the recipes throughout the rest of the booklet would also work great for campfire cooking. During about 25 years of jungle living in Bolivia, South America, my mother collected these recipes. Some recipes are hers, some shared from other jungle wives and mothers. Where we lived, there were no grocery stores, no roads, no TVs, no electricity, no plumbing, no other people for about 1½ hours flying time over a beautiful emerald carpet of Amazonian rainforest with an occasional brown river ribbon winding across the endless green below. Every 3 to 5 months, a Cessna would bring supplies, like batteries, 100 lb. bag of flour, raisins, canned foods, shotgun shells, outboard motor parts & gasoline, and most importantly - mail. My first summer in the jungle, Mom baked bread in a tin oven over a campfire. The next year she had a wood burning stove my father made for her from the round cut-off ends of a barrel & tins cans, clayed around to make a fire box, and a chimney stack of 5 gallon gas cans wired together. She still used the tin oven on the stove top for baking. It's not easy baking over a wood fire, trying to keep it burning evenly and consistently. My wish for you is that this recipe collection from Elena Josephine Garland Johnson will be a help to you. She would like that. She's the lady in the front cover picture.

L'autore

Anne went with her parents, 2 brothers and sister to Bolivia, South America in 1959. They flew from Miami to Nassau where they took a British ship, the "Reina Del Mar" to Antofagasta, Chile, with stops in Havana and Kingston, through the Panama Canal, then on down the South American coast. In Antofagasta, they boarded a train to go over the Andes Mountains to Cochabamba. While Anne's parents worked with an Indian tribe, the naked, bows and arrow kind, Anne and her siblings attended Tambo, an American boarding school in the Andes. During summer vacations, they flew to a pampa airstrip along a tributary of the Amazon River, where they lived in a real, 2-story, pioneer-type log cabin, mudded in with red river clay. Water was hauled from the river, and there were the traditional outhouses. The boys hunted and fished while the girls read, played games, helped their Mom, and even though they were without candy bars, they made a lot of fudge. The children all spent hours every morning and afternoon cooling off, swimming in the river, along with pirana, alligators, electric eels and sting rays. They just splatted the river with a canoe paddle before jumping in. The nearest other people were about 1½ hours flight away. Anne's Mom cooked meals from what they grew, what her Dad and brothers hunted, and from canned and dry foods flown in by Cessna every 3 to 5 months. At school in the Andes, they occupied their time mostly with sports, mountain climbing, swimming, hiking and work detail, along with studies. After college in Tennessee, Anne returned to Tambo for four years, to teach high school English, speech and drama, and directed several high school plays, "Pygmalion" and "Ben Hur" These recipes are from Anne's Mom's jungle collection.
