Preparing meals outside the home, in nature, is becoming more and more popular every day.
The departure of the residents of our cities for an annual vacation outside their permanent residence, weekly trips to the mountains, to the sea or to lakes, youth camping, hunting and fishing, provide the participants with an ideal opportunity and opportunity to grill meat, game, poultry, fish and other foods in nature.
Dining in nature, far from city noise, smoke and dust, waiting for a delicious roast, the pleasant glow of coals, the hum of cheerful voices, all this contributes to the mood.
The frame of this joy can be a canopy, yard, garden, forest, seashore or river, etc.
Grilling meat on a charcoal grill is now a favorite in all countries of the world.
Meat grilled on barbecue is prepared more and more in households and in catering establishments.
That is why there are also special catering shops, such as, for example, in Italy »Rosticeria«, in Germany »Spieslaube« or »Spiesstube«, in France »Brocherie« and »Rotiserie«, in the USA »Barbecue - shop« and »Steak-house«. or in the "Grill-room" hotel, not to mention the grill, which today is found in almost every catering shop.
Today, some meals are cooked outside the home, in nature, such as, for example, in camps, on the occasion of youth tenting, at work activities, at army exercises, etc.
Preparing food in nature is a much easier task today than before, because there is a large selection of concentrated and dehydrated dishes in the store.
In every store you can get various types of soups in boxes or packets, ready-made meat dishes, fillets with bacon, beans with bacon, Prague ham, liver pâté, hot dogs, various cheeses, fruit juices, vegetable juices, coffee, cocoa, tea, milk, etc., in cans or bags. All this will come in handy for hikers, kayakers, fishermen and campers. This will also serve well to all those who carry food in their backpacks. If you also take a thermos bottle with hot tea with you, you can easily prepare a complete lunch, dinner and breakfast. Hiking, hunting, fishing and kayaking can be a real joy if you prepare well for the trip. However, if you want to eat some fresh food in addition to food from a backpack, you must know how to prepare something yourself.
In this book you will find enough recipes for preparing grilled meat and various dishes in nature, so we hope that the book will be useful to all those for whom it is intended.
