field cooking

Inspired by a post on the tea-making thread (sorry, cant work out how to cross-post)

"I have a kelly kettle for tea but if I'm up for the day in the summer I use a two burner Coleman petrol stove for tea,or if I have the time and the veg a veggy soup made while on site"

what has anyone managed to cook out on the allotment (from back garden to kitchen is cheating for these purposes)?

the best I've done is snaffled and eaten a few sugarsnaps whilst picking.

anyone done a full Keith Floyd?

nothing yet, but that sounds like a good challenge for later in the year!

I walk back to the house and put the kettle on.

Theres a few people on our site with full-on kitchens (almost) in their sheds! Last year i got invited in for pasta with onions, tomatoes and broadbeans, all picked minutes beforehand. It was lush.

When spending a good day on the lotty it's lovely to take five and rustle up something special. We still use our trusty old camping gas cooker.

Me, I'd go for a wok and a lid (if the wok doesn't come with a lid, some cookery shops sell separate lids in assorted sizes). Plenty you could do with that.

don't know about Floyd but in the bush any kind of cooker is absolute luxury,

all you need to cook great meals is a good wood fire, 2 3 legged pots and ideally some kind of flat mesh surface to grill on
