August News from Packit Gourmet
 
Greetings!

We've put together several informative articles for our backcountry chefs and added several tasty seasonings to the site for you culinary explorers.

Plus we've added a new meal - 'The Big Easy' Gumbo. Delicious, simple and oh, so satisfying!
 'The Big Easy' Gumbo
Lightweight, Just-Add-Water and Delicious!
 
We've gotten rave reviews about our Nawlins YaYa Gumbo - it's packed with okra, tomatoes, rice and features local smoked sausage links for an authentic and tasty backcountry treat.

You've been so enthusiastic about our Big Easy Gumbogumbo that we just couldn't resist coming up with 'The Big Easy' Gumbo! We've doubled the chicken and nixed the sausage for an easy, lightweight gumbo, every bit as tasty as the original without the work.

Add a Punch of Flavor to Trail Food

When cooking in your home kitchen your spice rack and pantry are in easy reach to help season your creations. But when cooking at camp, your options are much more limited

We have a wide variety of seasonings available for the wilderness chef - everything from powdered wine, honey and soy sauce to freeze-dried sauteed onions and herbs.
