Beachburg, Canada, December 12, 2007 --(PR.com)-- The Heliconia Press, a leading publisher of books and DVDs on outdoor pursuits, is proud to announce that Camp Cooking: The Black Feather Guide has won a Gourmand World Cookbook Award for Canadian Best First Cookbook.

An international competition, the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards were founded in 1995 to help readers find the best of the more than 24,000 cookbooks that are published yearly, as well as to celebrate those who “cook with words”. Camp Cooking: The Black Feather Guide shares the extensive knowledge, favorite recipes and proven methods of authors Wendy Grater and Mark Scriver of Black Feather, and senior guide Joanna Baker, so that anyone can create sensational meals on camping trips.

Black Feather, a wilderness adventure company in operation since 1971, is renowned for its expeditions to the world’s most beautiful places and its commitment to creating exceptional experiences for their clients—many of whom return year after year. Camp Cooking reveals Black Feather secrets about how to plan meals, pack food, set up a camp kitchen and create delicious, nutritious meals for those who will find themselves far away from a traditional kitchen. The book features beautiful photographs, clear instruction and over seventy recipes, making it an indispensable guide for anyone who wants to eat well in the wild.

“Over the years we have happily shared our recipes with the many clients who have asked, but when we were approached by Heliconia, a publishing house that clearly shares our commitment to excellence, we decided it was finally time to pull together a comprehensive collection,” says Wendy Grater, owner of Black Feather. “We are so honored to be recognized with a prestigious Gourmand World Cookbook Award, and delighted by how warmly the book has been received.”
