CAMP FIRE COOKIN' | ENGLAND

This is what our car campin' trunk looks like. Stalked with the finest thanks to the campfire chef, Kristyn. Take note of her organizational skills!

 

 

we have THE best food while we are on the road, because it really is more than just food. to us it means shopping where the locals shop and eating a good meal when you are on the road is so comforting. it's also a source of entertainment, when your camping you have a lot of down time, to relax. why not eat good food while your at it?

pantry basics

<> good salt (any salt with color grey or pink)

<> olive oil

<> bragg's apple cider vinegar 

<>   cayenne pepper

<> gallons of filtered water 

<> tea

<> honey 

<> lemon

<> hemp milk (we went through it so quickly)

what's so great about the above list is they are all non-perishable and they will give so much flavor to the simplest meal.

cooking supplies

<> camper stove (invest in an msr pocket rocket) 

<> cast iron pan (adds so much flavor)

<> picnic knife

<> tea pot

<> enamel bowls and mugs + utensils

<> cutting board

a lot of it we found at charity shops or car boot sales so it was really cheap. 

on the menu

<> oats- boils quick and we would add different local fruit every      morning

<> couscous and quinoa- boils quick and we would add fresh and preserved veggies like olives, arugula, tomatoes and white beans

<> tea & toast- it was fun to find local bakeries for bread and try the local chutney's and jams

<> beans on toast- again local bread with white beans for protein. a UK classic add lots of lemon, salt and cayenne

<> boiled potatoes- camping style, thinly sliced served with our favorite antipasta olives and sun dried tomatoes 

<> salad- we basically put a salad of arugula on top of everything

<> popcorn- put it in a pot with oil and just keep moving!

we were lucky because it was summer, everything was on and delicious. to make meals interesting stop at the local farm stands and markets and just grab some fruits and veggies and add it to the basics you have in your "pantry".

*note if you take your lunch on a hike it's a really good incentive to get to the top. lunch with a view.

the wild is calling and the open road is yours to wander.
