CALLING FOR HELP:
I'm the first to admit I can't cook, so I'm calling on your help so we don't live on BBQ snags for breakfast, lunch and tea!! If anyone has any 'tried and true' ideas on camp cooking, I'm all ears. I'm interested in camp cooking recipes, but also knowing what "must have" items you take when out camping/caravaning, types of easy meals you have, storage and food freezing tips, etc.
On behalf of Shane - all help is greatly appreciated :)

ReplyDeleteWe went across Oz in sep. definitely take a camp oven. Lots of spuds and onions. They travel well. Wraps instead of bread easy lunches like boiled eggs, tomato cheese wraps. Lots of herbs and red wine. Coz wot u don't cook with it can help calm yr nerves:-) hee hee. Good luck and smile at every situation.... U still hav each other xx

ReplyDelete- Tip: Store leftovers in resealable plastic bags (can get them in various sizes.
- Use the thermomix to whip up a pizza base and cook in the BabyQ topped with anything you've got available.
- Homemade fresh bread or buns! Yum
- Quick & easy pasta: Boil water and cook pasta on oven or campfire. Fry up bacon (no need to add extra fat/oil), onion, garlic, mushrooms, throw in some white wine, lemon zest, cream (if desired). Mix throw pasta. Yummo
- Bacon, eggs, mushrooms for any meal of the day.
- Fish & salad (be creative with fish crumb coating).

ReplyDeleteHi Amanda, Cooking problem solved - go to www.dreampot.com.au - the dream pot is fantastic. We have one and it works a treat. Dinner is cooking while you are traveling.. I think you can buy them at BCF camping store.
Cheers L&P

ReplyDeleteYou can cook just about anything on the Q's! Easy dinners are good cause you want to spend your time exploring not cooking. Heaps of potatoes are good, even just sliced thinly in the pan with some garlic salt. When we were away we had BBQ's and salad most nights. Some easy mee goreng noodles with mince and veggies in a pan is easy and yum. If you are fishing you can buy easy batter mixes to fry them in or just grill. Take some good BBQ spices then you can change the taste of the same meat for different night ;-) Oh and dont knock the good old snag. They are the travelers best friend. If you are sick of BBQing them take those easy recipe bases like curry sausages that you can cook in a pan. Pretty sure the Q's can even act like an oven so you don't have to stick to boring camping food anymore. Hope some of that helps. Hope you have a blast. I would have loved to keep going for longer, it was soooo relaxing. Drive safe and keep us posted.
