The first recipe chosen to analyze is a pancake recipe by W.H. H. Chamberlin on page 30. Ingredients include KLIM, two eggs, butter, baking powder and salt to taste. Pancakes are traditionally made for breakfast, but as the recipes centres around camping, meal times can be adjusted. This recipe is unique because of the stereotype that baking is stereotypically feminine. This is changed when a tradition began for men to make breakfast on Sunday, and pancakes were considered masculine. Furthermore, without the emphasis on cooking as a chore that women would shoulder, men enjoyed the freedom to be creative in their cooking.

The second recipe is a pot roast recipe by Charles S. Kirkstead on page 30. Ingredients include any type of meat, flour and water, in addition to canned tomatoes, or onions and carrots for added flavour. Aside from KLIM, the ingredient for many recipes include meat and game, as the environment is focused on the outdoors. When men started to take up cooking, there was an emphasis to connect meat, fire and men. Thus, barbequing had become an almost exclusively male tradition in the home, and often times regarded as a social event or special occasion.
