Linda Ly is the author of The New Camp Cookbook, The Backyard Fire Cookbook, The CSA Cookbook, The No-Waste Vegetable Cookbook, and The National Parks Cookbook and the blogger behind the award-winning gardenbetty.com, a lifestyle site devoted to modern homesteading, green living, and adventure traveling. Nearly two million visitors turn to the blog every year for inspiration, tips, and tricks for eating well and living well, both in their backyards and in the great outdoors. Linda has been featured in national and regional media including Country Living, HGTV, Better Homes & Gardens, and Heritage Radio Network. Her passion for camping and cooking has taken her all over the American West, but she calls Bend, Oregon, home.

"This is a great pick for armchair travelers and road-trip enthusiasts, as it weaves in some nostalgia while also describing new tastes and ideas from quirky stops across the U.S. A fun and easy-to-use cookbook and travel guide for anyone with wanderlust; a great way to plan a themed evening."
