Andrea Buckett - The Essential Cottage Cookbook: Simply Delicious Recipes for Cottages, Cabins, and Wherever Your Travels Take You

Whether you vacation at a cottage, cabin, lake house, campsite, or trailer, the experience is universal. It’s about getting away from the daily grind and spending time surrounded by nature. But what’s on the menu when you arrive? The Essential Cottage Cookbook has got you covered.

Written by Andrea Buckett, who has vacationed at her family’s cottage countless times since she was a child, this cookbook is full of flexible, flavor-packed recipes. Everything is developed for minimal kitchen tools and equipment, so you can easily whip up a filling meal and still have time to relax. Chapters are divided by meals for every cottage experience under the sun (or rain, or snow!), including:

• Make It and Take It: Recipes prepped at home and then easily assembled when you arrive after the drive, like Little Bean Chili, Half-Time Ribs, or the Epic-Layered Breakfast Pie.
• Happy Hour: Snacks and drinks for those precious in-between moments, such as Dill-icious Pickle Dip and No-Bake Kettle Chip “Nachos” or a Pitcher of Margaritas for the adults and Easy Shave Ice for the kids.

• Light the Barbecue: Nothing beats cooking outdoors! Bask in meals straight off the grill like Curried Chickpea Flatbread with Fresh Tomato Relish or Steak Fajitas with Chimichurri Avocados.

The Essential Cottage Cookbook also includes guides on how to stock a cottage kitchen (whether you rent or own), packing tips, and menu plans. And you’ll find hosting tips for cottage owners, trip-ready advice for renters, and advice on how to be a great cottage guest and be invited back year after year. Whether swimming, hiking, or even just relaxing outside, enjoy satisfying and relaxing cottage meals morning, noon, and night, thanks to this cookbook.
