Cooking in the Wild in Style
Camping is super good fun.
If you ignore the discomfort, the mosquitoes and the unpredictable weather it can be one of the best things to do when you have a free weekend.
Anywhere that has something like a nice lake, a beautiful bit of scenery or a secluded beach can be perfect to set up camp, get the fire on and have a great time with friends.
To add to the pleasure of it all, making sure you have lots of nice things to eat will only add to the good time feeling.
Isn't there something extra tasty about food that has been cooked outside? Here are some essential things for cooking up properly and eating like a king.
Barbecue Nothing beats a barbecue.
People build them in their back gardens and spend thousands of pounds on shiny gas powered ones on wheels.
In the wild you can either use your fire or use a nice cheap disposable one.
Miles better than a clumsy gas stove; a barbecue is decadent, smells great and can be easily disposed of afterward.
You can cook most types of meat and vegetables on a barbecue and, with a billycan; you can cook up some tasty sauces.
Tupperware Multiple sizes and shapes of Tupperware are ideal for storing all your meats, vegetables, spices and liquids for carrying them into the wild.
After a bit of preparation before you leave home, when you get set up to cook, everything can be ready to go, just like Delia.
What's more, when you finish cooking, you can usually Russian doll style pack up your plastics to make them easy to get home.
Foods There is almost no limit to what you can cook over a campfire or barbecue.
For a simple meal, jam some potatoes into the fire wrapped in tin foil and have some fillings prepared in your Tupperware for some tasty baked potatoes.
Soup is very easy to make and with a big pot can feed a lot of people with minimal ingredients.
All you need is water, some stock, salt and pepper and some vegetables.
Meats like steak, bacon, burgers and sausages always work well over an open fire, with some soft rolls, a little salad and lots of ketchup.
Whether you want to catch your own dinner with something like a pigeon magnet or slingshot catapult then take care! Pack light but don't miss out any crucial ingredients as this will make all the difference when simmering your sauces to perfection.
But above all don't forget to bring plates and cutlery.
You don't want to be eating you lovingly prepared coq au vin from the pot.
