Review: Good recipes, but lots and lots of ingredients in some

Okay, I'm going camping with my family.  I love the idea of foil packet cooking so there's no muss and not fuss.  However, if you look at the ingredient list for some of these recipes, I'd need to take my whole kitchen with me in order to cook these!  If I were  home in my own back yard, I could see cooking something like "oriental fish packets" where you have 13 ingredients--including cooked rice.I'd like to see more recipes like the "butter baked chicken" where there's only 4 ingredients-chicken, butter, salt and pepper!  A few more ingredients would be fine, like the "lemon barbecued chicken" with 8 ingredients.  However, the other issue I have is there are so many ingredients that I would not normally take with me in my small camper that I just can't use them.On the plus side, there are great pictures and directions on the different ways to make foil packets, and when best to use which type of foil packet.If you have a large camper that you have lots of storage space for many different items, this would be an excellent cookbook.  Or if you just want to have a backyard barbecue using foil packets, this would come in handy.  If you are limited in space while camping, you will probably only be able to use a few of these recipes.
