In 1988 the families of Camp McWain published a cookbook called
-   "McWain's Family Favorites"  -

This is an adaptation of that cookbook for the Internet. I have tried to keep the look and feel the same as in the original cookbook. A table of contents has been added, it can be found on page 4. Also added are recipes that did not make it into the original cookbook, they are marked in red.

Camp McWain is a family camp. One of the things we do, besides Hiking, Swimming, Sailing, Fishing, Golf, Tennis, Antiques, Relaxing, Reading and Outlet shopping in Conway, NH and Freeport, ME (LLBean), etc. is having cookouts at the Point. The cookout usually is a Lobster Bake. With steaks for those who don’t like lobster or both for those who can’t make up their mind. I say usually, because we have had English High Tea, complete with cucumber sandwiches, as well as Eggs Benedict Breakfast served at the Point. You haven’t lived till you have tasted Eggs Benedict cooked over an open fire. Every family brings one or two dishes for the communal table. As the cook-out is at the end of the week these dishes can vary from "very simple" to "very refined" to "use what ever is left in the fridge" depending on whether the family goes home on Saturday or stays another week.

What started the cookbook? Families were always exchanging recipes, so we decided to collect them and put them in a cookbook. I hope you enjoy looking at the cookbook as much as I did getting it ready for the Web. Please let me know by signing the guest book.

Hereby I would like to thank the Muzik and the Whichard families for their hospitality each and every year.

Sincerely,

scribble
