Book overview .....

Cooking It Up in My Volkswagen Bus

Wait a minute.  We are going to sleep, eat, cook, hangout, camp, and  
drive in
this thing?  This is what entered my mind when my husband and I bought  

our
1987 Volkswagen Westfalia.  We now have two children and yes….. We  
sleep,
eat, cook, hangout, camp, drive, and create awesome family memories in  

our
VW bus.

My husband seems to be a magnet for fellow VW bus enthusiasts. One
fateful day in the Spring of 2003 he met a “bus guy” and the two of them
created Buses by the Beach (with lots of help).  Buses by the Beach is a
loosely assembled group of VW lovers, and while we are based in the  
Grand
Rapids Michigan area we draw VW folks from all over the country and
beyond.

We at buses combine our love of Volkswagen style camping with raising
money for the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors.  As of May 2008 Buses
by the Beach has raised over $68,000.  Our goals are mainly achieved
through our fundraiser/campout in the Spring that coincides with the  
Annual
Benefit car Show at the 5th/3rd Ballpark.  We also plan “just for fun”

events throughout the year such as canoe trips, music festivals,  
sledding,
and cookouts.

When you sleep, eat, cook, hangout, camp, and drive in a small  
vehicle, you
need to have recipes that are easy to make while camping or prepared
before the trip.  I love to cook and was always asking VW camping people
what they were cooking and eating in their bus.  I decided to put this  

passion
into a fundraising VW cookbook.  Proceeds from this cookbook will be
donated to the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors.

The pictures included with the recipes are not necessarily the picture  

of the
recipe contributor.  We hope this cookbook helps you “cook it up” in  
your
tent, camper, home, or VW bus.
