“Dirty Gourmet” is really a lifestyle, one that celebrates delicious food, warm company, and outdoor fun. It emerged as a website and blog when friends Aimee Trudeau, Emily Nielson, and Mai-Yan Kwan joined forces to share their love of wilderness, outdoor education experiences, and knowledge of backcountry cooking through classes, workshops, catering events, and easy — yet exciting — recipes.

Located in Seattle, WA and founded in 1960, Mountaineers Books is the nation's leading independent publisher of outdoor recreation, lifestyle, and conservation books.
