Easy Camp Cooking Recipes is a cookbook not intended as a typical recipe book but as a guide that uses primitive tools. Published in 1934 by Borden Co., this cookbook offers a variety of recipes written by seven authors with outdoor camping background and expertise. The cookbook is resembles a small handbook that can easily be carried and packed, which is a necessary feature as its purpose is for camping.

Additionally, Easy Camp Cooking Recipes centres around the use of KLIM, a brand of powdered milk originally produced by the Merrel-Soule company in 1920. KLIM is highly praised and encouraged by the authors throughout the cookbook and should be at the centre of the camp mess. Furthermore, they state they are always successful in persuading and converting others to use KLIM instead of fresh milk.

The cookbook assumes that the user will be bringing the majority of their ingredients from home. The cookbook provides two types of camp food lists; one which assumes that the user will be close to supplies and can easily access settlements, and the other which assumes the user will not. For example, the cookbook index includes a category for desserts and candy, which are not typical for camp cooking, with one recipe for cream pudding that include flour, eggs and salad oil; ingredients difficult to procure in the wilderness.
