reminds me Ian, I must get a new opener for the van. You and Jackie won't always be there to borrow of.

We'll try mate

Seriously though, life's too short to be cooking from scratch. We often do it at home but camping's supposed to be a break, a holiday even, why start concocting some arty-farty 3 course dinner ... that's what pubs and restaraunts are for. The rest of the time what's wrong with a cheeky hot chicken curry and boil in the bag rice, or a slap dash bbq ?

You'll be getting into Leigh-in-Stoke territory next and taking an extra cooker, napkins, place mats, fridge-freezer and washing machine away with ya Horses for courses again I suppose.

If you have time then yes, cook something from scratch BUT if its a weekend jobbie you don't want to waste time on cooking. I get enough wonderful home cooking from Heather at home so I can afford to miss it when away.

I cook stews, soups, chilli (and anything else that can be reheated in a saucepan) at home & freeze it, that way when I go away for a weekend my food helps cool the fridge quicker (cos its frozen) and all I have to do is reheat on the hob

I've got one of those campervan cookbooks & there seems a lot of good Ideas in there but the sad fact is that I'm just too bloody lazy to cook anything super-duper when I'm at a show or club camp.......

We bring from home too. Home made is so much nicer than tinned or packet food. We do BBQ a lot as well. i like slow cooking as well if we have hook up.

When I read the title I wondered how you'd cook a campervan

Leigh-in-Stoke territory

blimey theres a blast from the past!

I try to do some prep before we go camping. The slicing and dicing, so there's more time for the enjoyment of the outdoors. All in all I d like to cook from scratch, but the stuff that I cook is pretty easy though. I really like Cajun and Mexican food. My favorites are Jambalaya, a one pot dish that seems to feed an army. Mexican food from refrided black beans with chopped up jalapenos and lime juice to accompany chicken, rice and cheese quesadillas. I actually just had that one tonight while I was sitting here reading the foum.

What are some of your favorite (ritual) dishes when you are camping? After seeing Jeds' videos it seems that people in the UK seem to like alot of meat for breakfast (or was that just Jed and friends) It all, made me hungry watching!

Because some people like good food, and enjoy cooking.
