“I bought 12 spice blends as gifts. The Leeky Lemon Dill Dip is out of this world good, never made it home from Sun Valley! The pink peppercorn salt is very very good, using it on Watermelon Salad and my grilled scallops. Great products!”

After being in the outfitting business 30 years, we have a true river cookbook by a true professional wilderness river guide/chef. This book is so much more than great recipes. I know and have worked with the author and many of the guides mentioned. I know so many of the stories shared and I know the love Courtney has for our rivers. The cast of characters and outfitters she has assembled have years of experience cooking these wonderful meals riverside. This is a book for every guide and every guest who has sat along our wilderness rivers and enjoyed a meal after a day in the Frank! Enjoy great food as you read great stories.

"Thank you Courtney, what a great cook book! I have made so many recipes already at home, and cannot wait to make them outdoors. We have plans to camp much of our summer and the kids love the Sherried Beef and your Eggs Benedict Stew, so those are a must! I also like your stories and suggestions. Nice images too! Well done."

"Not being much of a cook, I bought your book to bring up my campfire cooking game: Now, instead of hot dogs on our last hunt trip I made Chicken Finley and the guys went nuts for it! My wife made the Earl Parrot's Apple Pie and it was awesome too. I totally get your "Why eat dirt?" slogan now. Thanks for the cook book and inspiration."

"I just bought your book and gave two as gifts. The images are beautiful. The recipes are great and I love that you gave instructions on 'how to' for camp as well as at home. I also appreciate how easy they were to make for two or ten people. I went down the Middle Fork a thousand years ago with Mackay Wilderness River Trips and both the food and you guides were terrific. This cook book brings it all back and makes me want to go again."

My wife bought your Storm Cloud Blend and Sun Valley Vinaigrette. I wish she would have bought more…but now that you are online we will order them all. What a great company you have Courtney!

“Best River Cookbook published yet! You took the intimidation out of dutch oven cooking for me. Now it is just plain fun. Thank you! I love your Instagram post also. Keep up the good work,”
~Jamie Reer, Lewiston, Idaho
"My girlfriend drew a permit on the Main Salmon this summer and I bought her your cookbook. Before that she was worried about what meals we would serve on the river. Since she has made a few River Food meals and all that has changed. I am thrilled to say the meals were fantastic! Perhaps it is not that ironic that the No Worries Chicken Curry is now a staple in our house. We look forward to amazing our friends and family on the river. We will send photos. Thanks!"

"I bought four copies of River Food for gifts and one for myself. Everyone loves it! Great job explaining the 'in camp' versus the 'at home' recipes. This is such a great book! I love the images and the poetic way you set the scene for each section. 5 stars!"

I LOVE MY SPICE BLENDS!!!! THANK YOU FOR SHIPPING SO FAST! Stir Fry Blend really is addictive! The River Rub should be used on everything, delicious!
