“I could write books about how amazing the food was.”
For years, travelers have shared their reviews about the food at EcoCamp. They praise the flavors, presentation, and overall dining experience. We’ve also received recipe requests from guests who wanted to recreate the dishes at home.
That’s how A Taste of EcoCamp was born: to give guests the opportunity to bring the flavors of EcoCamp—and, by extension, Chile—to their own tables as a unique travel souvenir.
This cookbook is both informative and inspiring. It provides background on the ingredients we use while encouraging readers to experiment in their kitchens..png?width=860&height=574&name=Yoga%20blog%20(4).png)
From concept to creation
After the idea came to life, we got started. We collaborated with the chef to choose the recipes for the book, wrote them down, and worked with a photographer to capture their essence. We also met with our suppliers to learn about the qualities of their products and how they’re made, and consulted with experts on Chilean cuisine.
From there, we brought the concept to life visually, making sure the book reflected EcoCamp's spirit. Of course, tasting was a key part. The team tested the recipes in their kitchens for the final touches.
