I am not the target market for this book admittedly, but I still found the subject matter interesting AND it’s independently published. However, while there’s a picture for every recipe, I feel that the dishes are not something you’d need a recipe for. For example: oatmeal, vegetable soup, turmeric milk, etc.

Still, I suppose this book could be a guide for those who subscribe to the van life.

I have no desire to live out of a van, but down the road I wouldn't mind having a smaller RV for traveling so I thought I would check out this cookbook. When I saw it I kind of laughed because it's so tiny, but you won't be preparing a multi-course Thanksgiving meal in a van either! Marque gives some tips for cooking in a small space and how to use what you have well. I did feel like some of the staples she suggests are more her tastes and not just basic cooking staples. I also felt like a lot of the recipes weren't much of a recipe like oatmeal or a salad. I think more tips about what stores best, how to eat fresh food on the road, etc. would have been more helpful for the target audience of this book.
