In tackling recipes from the cookbook "Campground Cookery", city slickers Anna and Kristina head on a camping trip on the shores of Alouette Lake. The cookbook strives to have gourmet recipes that can be cooked outside on open fires. The recipes they will be attempting are braised beef round steak, grilled trout, reflector oven zucchini parmigiana, bannock, campground coffee, sweet potato stuffed apples, and cherry filled pudgy pies. One of their first tasks is to catch trout out on the lake, and if they don't, they will down one recipe. And if they do manage to catch a trout, they will have to figure out how to clean it. The other challenges they face are building a fire, and figuring out how hot it is since it doesn't have a heat gauge like a stove or oven. Their guest chef taster is Chili Thom, a gourmet chef and outdoor guide. If they and/or the recipes fail, they will have to hope that Chili, like most outdoorsy west coasters, is relaxed in his attitude. In addition, they evaluate chef knives based on their handles, and taste test canned cherry pie filling with expert pie makers.
