Weirdly enough in my corner of the Northeastern US, it was warm enough to sport summer clothing and thinking of going for a picnic or even to the shore (the beach in New Jersey parlance) today.
Last Wednesday, it was steamy hot in New York City and it had nothing to do with Bruce the Boss playing The Garden.
So for these Hot Summer Nights and Days of October, I scouted Campfire Cuisine (Quirkbooks), a cookbook for your outdoors adventures.
Recipes include Bourbon-glazed salmon and Cinnamon baked bananas.
The book was penned by Robin Donovan, a San Francisco writer who shares some of her camping, food and cooking secrets on Gourmets Gone Wild.
