Welcome to Camp Pleasure! – Pleasure the Baker

Pals! Welcome to Camp Pleasure!

Camp Pleasure began in the summertime of 2020 once we have been all, prefer it or not, Indoor Pandemic Youngsters.  For those who’ve been right here for quite a lot of years you already know that I took to the yard with my video digicam (lol my iPhone) to make a 90’s period summer time camp for us.  We made peach cobbler.  I raided the craft closet and we made the daisy chains.  It was A Entire Factor.

Over the previous few years I’ve been slowly been morphing right into a camp counselor.  Okay, I’m largely simply carrying a shawl and cowboy boots and I like constructing a fireplace and making crafts, nevertheless it’s all feeling fairly campy.  To make issues even higher, Will and I get out tenting as usually as we will.  Typically in his trailer, usually with a number of bikes, and most undoubtedly with a cooler stuffed with meals I need to cook dinner over hearth.

It was on our final massive camp of 2022, a reasonably epic journey to Satan’s Den, Arkansas, that I roasted an enormous ol’ pork butt in a dutch oven over coals whereas Will caught child trouts to point out me and throw again within the river that it hit me – I wanted to write down a camp cooking e book.  So… I SURE DID.

Did you ask for this? I imply… not particularly.  However I’m within the behavior of constructing what I like within the hopes that you simply love or will study to like it too. That’s what camp counselors do, proper?

CAMP JOY is 62 insanely colourful pages with 18 cutie new recipes meant to encourage your summer time! This little zine is strictly what I would like it to be due to the joyful design of Megan Dekok, the masterful modifying of our Abby Mallett, modifying and session from our favourite dad, Clifford Lesley, and the picture modifying abilities of our pricey Karlee Flores.  I casually went out into the wild, made meals, took photos of it, and wrote every thing down.

I’m going to let you know the entire fact.  For those who’re right here for a Sunday submit, we’re clearly associates.

Camp Pleasure is a self-published endeavor for one motive.  I bought sick and bored with having my work watered down by conventional e book and journal editors solely to have them come again to inform me how disillusioned they have been in my gross sales. Not making what I would like AND disappointing massive firms who haven’t made sufficient cash off my hard-fought creativity? PASS.  Y’all.  I’m so over that.

If you wish to name grilling out on the deck “tenting” – be my visitor.  No judgement from me!  The recipes in Camp Pleasure may simply as simply be automobile snack in your subsequent street journey or particular treats in your subsequent picnic.

All of that is to say, I made this for you particularly, and I hope you like it. If you maintain a duplicate you’re holding a chunk of my coronary heart in your arms.
