Curry Bum

Sweet Potato and Sun Dried Tomato Masoor Dal

By Amber Woods on Sunday, February 26, 2023

Did you know there is no such dish really as a curry? You may see curry on a lot of six ninty nine cheap Indian lunch buffets but what you think of as a curry might be a dal. Or it might be a tandoori dish. It could even be a tamarind studded jalfrezi if …

Dudhi Kofta with Pumpkin Air-Fryer Dumplings

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, February 22, 2023

Contrary to what I thought, Kofta does not mean stuffed balls. A kofta curry in most middle eastern or Asian cuisine usually means some kind of meatball. Although this January our family is enjoying a vegetarian diet so I made this version with leftover pumpkins from our garden. Yes, you can have middle eastern kofta …

Take the best photos while snowshoeing Big Bear Lake!

By Amber Woods on Monday, February 13, 2023

There I was lying on my back in the snow with my pants off. Like a turtle, stuck on its back, I was stuck in four feet of fresh powder, snowshoes in the air and my pants around my ankles. An hour into my solo snowshoeing Big Bear Lake trek, well, yes, I needed to …

Hike. Jeep. Repeat. Big Bear's only outdoor adventure guide
Amber Woods
Amber Woods

Hi y’all! I’m Amber, Big Bear Lake’s local Hungry Mountaineer hiking nature guide. I grew up here in the San Bernardino National Forest. I have basically been out exploring hiking trails and enjoying the wilderness as long as I could walk. I have had some amazing adventures out here in the gorgeous San Bernardino Mountains over the years. As a alpine adventure enabler who is passionate about the wilderness, I love to share my knowledge of our vast trail system with vacationers who also love the great outdoors. Looking to book a hiking excursion? Email me at Hungrymountaineer@gmail.com for the best locals-only hikes available in this mountain wilderness. I am passionate about finding my balance in life – healthy living, great food, outdoor fitness, traveling adventures, working hard and my unbridled love for racehorses and naturally, gambling. When I’m not exploring news trails or betting on the ponies you can find me either coming up with healthy new recipes or blogging about the adventures my trail pup and I had in the wilderness this week. I have spent most of my life exploring what these mountains have to offer and locals would call me an expert and a backcountry Snack Sherpa. I know the best hiking and biking trails in these mountains and I have chronicled most of my hikes and adventures on this website. Please get in touch is you have any questions.
