camp cooking

Definitely a Lamb Roast & vegies in the camp oven with several beers during preparation, a superb bottle of red during consumption and a couple of Bourbons during settlement. Oh yeah !!!
I asked a similar question a week or so ago and got very little response but I'm suspecting that your post will be different !!!

gday mr and mrs al.
you cant go past mc donalds/kentucky on the way to and from a good weekend camping because the chances of actually cooking something healthy are about 100000000 to 1.—~‘¬‘¥•s’B

I like Continantal Pasta & Sauce lite to carry , stick's to ribs & easy to make (more time for an ale) & damper done in the hillbilly camp oven they are great,light ,heat up & cool down quickly & make a great damper(suppose the cook had a hand).Regards Bob

Hey guys
Personally I reckon you can't go past the good old spag bol and garlic bread and perhaps red wine for those that way inclined.

What an earth has happened to this forum?
Al and Mrs Al had hardly received decent answers to this qn - yes, your're right that probably because the qn gets asked every month and so if you run a search on the keyword camp cooking you'll get tons of past responses, a lot I've answered to. But , to keep my post worthwhile, I'll give you some tips myself...

Just about anything you cook at home you can cook in the bush. The trick however to simple cooking is to minimise the number of ingredients so there is less to get out on the table and less to have to pack away = more time relaxing. You also want to look to minimise the preparation materials and cooking utensils so there is less washing up. The easiest meals I know of that meet this criteria are foil parcels - simply bung individual size portions of vegetables and sauce on top of meat, wrap in foil, cook on coals and eat. Personally, I really enjoy cooking in the bush go for the whole gourmet concept but its horses for courses. I don't have as much time at home to cook as when I travel so this is when I really get to have fun. Other tips for great tasty and easy meals are rice cooked the absorbtion method (ie 1 cup rice, 2 cups water) bring to boil with lid on, then simmer (ie. move to cooler coals) for 5 minutes then remove completely from fire and let stand for 10 mins. Perfect fluffy rice that doesn't stick to the bottom of the billy and is easy to clean. Then just cook a curry - by tipping a whole tin of an indian curry sauce (Pataks etc) into some meat (diced lamb, chicken, chops etc) and simmering for about 30mins. If you like plain yoghurt its great to have a big tub in your fridge for refreshing day time snacks, deserts with tin fruit or to add zest to your curry when serving. All meat is easy to cook - just simplify the condiments by adding rice, couscous is dead easy, vegies on the side or salad depending on how long you can keep your food fresh. Sausages and onion sandwich? Toasted jaffles? Savory omeletes - the possibilities are endless. Just cook it and enjoy!ExplorOz

I used a search on "Camp Oven" and it only brought up about a half dozen relevant posts and three of those are from August so it's a reasonably relevant question I think given the evolution of new recipes & camp equipment etc.

Unfortunately I don't have the following that Mrs Al does (I told ya so -perhaps I should post a pic of the wife alongside my fourby!) and didn't receive quite so many responses but it's fun checking out her post anyway.

I too enjoy being more creative when camping unless it's a group session in which case alcohol usually gets in the way. I'm not the culinary whiz that I used to be as I get sent out to work more & more and thankfully get to come home to a delightful meal most nights so it's really quite hard to stay in touch with the camp cooking thing as that's when I'm expected to take over which is why roasts are pretty popular as there's plenty of waiting involved.
Not very adventurous of me but we look forward to it anyway.

Why doesn't everyone send in their recipes so the "ExplorOz Camp Cook Book can be produced?Just Do It!
