La cuisine sauvage sur feu de bois, Les Éditions de l’Homme, 2025
At the cottage, camping or in the woods, learn to master the art of cooking over a fire!
Modern-day adventurer and coureur des bois Billy Rioux is passionate about cooking over an open fire. In this comprehensive work, both a practical guide and a recipe book, he passes on ancestral know-how to enable us to cook with panache and authenticity.
His detailed explanations cover every aspect of cooking over an open fire, from how to maintain a cast-iron frying pan to how to create a space for cooking in all seasons, from choosing the right type of wood according to its calorific value to cooking methods to obtain that divine smoky taste. With pleasure and tradition in mind, he offers us a true culinary adventure in the most beautiful of settings: our wilderness.
Bushcraft, La survie relax, VLB éditeur, 2019
The best way to appreciate nature is to live it! This is the first book of its kind
of its kind, in French and dealing with forests, by an authentic modern-day coureur of the woods of modern times.
A true phenomenon in the outdoor world, bushcraft is the art of using nature’s resources for shelter, food, and comfort in all seasons, with as little equipment as possible. This nicely illustrated book is not a conventional survival guide. The activities he suggests are all accessible: tying basic knots, building a fiable shelter to spend the night, building and maintaining a fire, gathering edibles to cook tasty recipes… A great connoisseur of Quebec’s wildlife and flore and a historian by training, he also recounts some famous episodes in the human adventure of the forest – and some of the adventures he himself has experienced in the wilderness.
