The Overland Cook

I love watching this guy but I felt ripped off as there is only 12 recipes in the entire book which is only 40 odd pages long . Really disappointing.

Awesome book with great recipes for life on overlanding

My husband and I enjoy his cooking on YouTube, and wanted to support his efforts. The book seriously contains very few recipes, and the entire content repeats itself... making the book appear to have more inside. Even the pages that have a recipe are half a page of content and two pages of photos of his vehicle and blank pages for ‘notes’ Then, half way through, you realize, all of the content is duplicated. I really wanted this to be a treasure. Extremely disappointed.

I was really excited to order this book only to be disappointed with the size. There are 13 recipes in this book, 46 pages. The book is only a quarter inch thick. You can buy a 204 page cookbook by Anthony Bourdain for less money. With that being said the book itself has wonderful photos and the recipes are delicious! It motivates you to want to go cook outdoors. If I were to suggest one thing, it would be for the author to create a larger collection of photos and recipes before publishing a book. For the price it should be three times the size at least. Marco is fun to watch during their overlander adventures. I love how he surprises his friends over and over with delicious scratch meals. The one good thing I can say is that being as light as the book is it will easily slip into the box to take along without adding too much bulk.

I see so many here disappointed with the book. Not enough recipes, to many pictures to small for the money. I feel that this cook book is more than a cook book, it represents adventure that we are living through him. He states he is not a chef, he is just passing on some things from the trail that he hosted others. Not all or everything that he cooks are in the book, but some with some pictures to intrigue our imagination. We go out to dinner and spend $30 and come away with a full stomach for a few hours then it’s gone. With the $30 bucks you sent to buy the cook book you get a few recipes, some cool pictures and give him the ability to keep making content. I say thanks so much for a little something in exchange for a few bucks. Many people in podcasting just ask for support and send you a sticker for $30. Feel good and enjoy the content he makes. Thanks so much we will keep watching.
