For many people, figuring out portable meals that are healthy, filling and tasty is a challenge. For others, the prospect of bringing food on the trail is an afterthought entirely. I spoke with Bon Appetit\u2019s Brad Leone and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.falcon.com\/book\/9781493028702\">Best Served Wild<\/a> authors Brendan Leonard and Anna Brones for advice on how to eat well, cook well and impress friends with your camp cooking.<\/p>\n<p>Anna Brones and Brendan Leonard are both writers and adventurers. Anna spends her time outside on bike tours, while Brendan, who is the creator of <a href=\"https:\/\/semi-rad.com\/\">Semi-Rad<\/a> and a previous guest of this show, is an ultramarathon runner. They\u2019ve both learned to cook delicious, nutritious food outside and agree that food always tastes better after a long day on the trail. Their book Best Served Wild covers easy vegetarian recipes (which are adaptable for meat eaters) for all kinds of outdoor excursions.<\/p>\n<p>Brad Leone is the host of Bon App\u00e9tit Magazine\u2019s hit YouTube series \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLKtIunYVkv_TZ6Ld4t2oEdaNkrWab2-20\">It\u2019s Alive!<\/a>,\u201d a show about preparing fermented and live foods. Brad is an active traveler and outdoorsman who has spent a lot of time not only adventuring in the outdoors but also foraging, fishing and hunting for his own food.<\/p>\n<p>In our conversations, these three told me some great stories, wisdom, meal ideas and simple tips to up your cooking game. Plus, they talk about the joy of eating food in nature, why it\u2019s important to get outside and shared some delicious recipes. It made me realize that eating outside doesn\u2019t have to be boring. It can be delicious and nutritious. Don\u2019t let food be an afterthought as you\u2019re hitting the trails, the beach, or the mountains this year. Trust me, with a little planning ahead, you can fuel your adventures with tasty meals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listen to this episode if:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You think eating outdoors always tastes better.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019re an amateur or aficionado campfire chef and want to get better.<\/li>\n<li>You want to know how to build an outdoor kitchen.<\/li>\n<li>You could use ideas for breakfast, lunch and dinner (and dessert!) while camping.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019re a fan of Brad Leone and It\u2019s Alive! or Brendan Leonard of Semi-Rad and Anna Brones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Three Ingredients Besides Peanuts Peanut Sauce<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Adapted from\u00a0<i>Best Served Wild<\/i> by Brendan Leonard and Anna Brones<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This sauce works great on just about anything: rice noodles, stir fried vegetables or simply by the spoonful.
