Confessions of the Hired Spatula is the first book by author, Deborah Carlton -- a collection of humorous camp stories from a neophyte backcountry cook with comic illustrations of the colorful characters, rich cover art from her original oil canvases and recipes appearing as perfect endnotes to the stories. Many of the recipes were learned while cooking under fire with long hours and endlessly biting pests. Yet Deborah finds such humor that the reader will laugh out loud, and the circumstances are so unusual and interesting that this book will become a treasure to return to over and again.
