Gourmet Outdoor Cooking for Hikers

The West Los Angeles Group of the Sierra Club is proud to present "Gourmet Outdoor Cooking for Hikers" with The Dirty Gourmet!


The Dirty Gourmet was born when Aimee, Mai-Yan, and Emily all found themselves at a crossroads in their lives. Aimee and Mai-Yan had just returned to Los Angeles after a four month bike tour through Canada, and Emily had moved out of her cabin in the woods to live in the real world again. They were all interested in taking on a fun new project together, and decided to turn their shared passion for food and adventure into something tangible.


Being the outdoor foodies that they are, they naturally started experimenting with their favorite home recipes in our various outdoor excursions. That led to much success and also a few disappointments. With their combined experiences, they found that they had quite an arsenal of ideas and endless excitement for creating new recipes. On a recent camping trip they prepared a record 14 dishes in one day, and realized two things—that they needed to have more people camping with them (so they wouldn’t eat so much!), but more importantly, that they should share these taste bud-tingling recipes with fellow outdoor foodies.
