This isn’t your average dehydrated spaghetti talk! Join Nick Gordon, an experienced camp chef and guide, for a culinary adventure that will launch your trail food’s bliss index from blah to WOW! This expedition paddles into daring, creative, ultralight, shelf-stable, savory awesomeness with a side of caloric fill power. “There is no better way to end a tough day than with an exceptional meal,” says Nick (aka Nick of the Woods) who has a reputation for imagination when feeding exhausted paddlers from put-in to take-out. Whether he’s cooking for 1 or 61, cheeseburgers, BBQ spaghetti, cake, guacamole, smoked pulled pork, shepherd’s pie, cappuccino pudding, and even fresh fruit and yogurt parfait, are all part of his ever-expanding menu.

Topics will include dehydrating, baking, freeze-drying, and the assortment of antique, modern, and modified kitchen equipment he uses to prepare meals for groups of any size. Gram weenies?* Food allergies? Picky eaters? Don’t let these thwart you. From A - “All You Can Eat” to Z - “Zucchini Fruit Snacks”, Nick has got you covered!

* gram weenie-someone who obsessively shaves off every ounce possible.
