The spread is even more impressive given the location: a campsite at Falls Lake State Recreation Area north of Raleigh. These four families, like thousands of others in campgrounds across the state, are enjoying the summer ritual of campfires and cooking.
Fans of the great outdoors, like Brooks Shepherd Jr. of Charlotte, understand why these campers focus so much energy on what's for dinner.
"To me, there are two reasons you go out in the outdoors: one is to appreciate nature and the other is to eat. Food just naturally tastes better in the outdoors," says Shepherd, a longtime camper and former Boy Scout leader. He has written three cookbooks, available at culinarycuisines.com, for car campers, those who use Dutch ovens and backpackers.
We love lattes, so how do we make one in the middle of a campsite? At home we have a Nespresso machine (like the one pictured on the right). It makes beautifully smooth lattes and espressos but it's not coming camping with us. So an alternative source of good coffee will probably need to be organised.
There is always Starbucks and Costa Coffee, but that involves a trip into a town somewhere which is a pain, on top of the higher price you would pay for a coffee. So what are the options for making coffee on-site. I'm assuming no electrical hook up as a) we never have one and b) I'd guess anything that can heat water for coffee would use more power than a hook up could handle. So we're talking about making a decent cup of coffee with standard camping kit, a stove (or fire) of some kind, a kettle and any coffee specific paraphernalia that's small and robust enough to take along.
