150 Best Recipes for Cooking in Foil

Marilyn Haugen

If you’re looking for new recipes for camping or grilling, then check out Marilyn Haugen’s 150 Best Recipes for

Cooking in Foil. Haugen has created a whole book full of easy dishes, many of which contain your whole meal. The book is split up by oven type, so you don’t have to search through the whole book for recipes that are best cooked using a particular method. Haugen also includes a very nice variety of dishes, from kid-friendly to gourmet. These are perfect for bringing to camp because you can make them into foil packets ahead of time—plus cleanup is super easy! The big downside to this book is the cooking times: many of the recipes (especially those cooked over the fire) may take longer than the recipe says. Also, this style of cooking will not appeal to anyone who wants to cut down on aluminum for health reasons, or is conscious of all the excess waste aluminum foil generates. But many of the recipes can be modified to cook in a grill basket or using a pan instead. They just might not be as juicy if they’re not covered during cooking.
