Overland Cooking and Recipes

I got one of these for my wife for her birthday... she loves it. It seems to work pretty well.

We dehydrate to save space and preserve flavour.

Yeah, we use a lot of dehydrated and freeze dried food when in the back country.

Food for thought - we have found that we can pack more food if we carry basic ingredients instead of pre-made food. Plus it's usually better. You just have to choose your food wisely regarding it's storability.

Absolutely 100% correct. We always bring raw ingredients and act like super chefs on our Coleman, our Volcano Grill and our MSR Dragonfly. Enoough for about 5 days out. However, we still do pack MREs from Mountain Home or Backpackers Pantry, for backpacking, after a really rough day of traveling, or in case of emergency...

@SLOCeeCee got me a Tembo Tusk Scottle for Fathers a Day! Can't wait to fire it up!

Ok, will have a recepy or two here as well.
Problem, one is asian and indonesian. That is were my father came from.
So, it is called Saté, Sateh.

Well, take a good deal of sambal. this is like chilis, but in different tastes. Garlic, Ginger, and then we have a problem. Ketoumbar, Satéherbs, sugar and sojasauce.
Pork meat and scewers.
Anyway, it looks like this

I make it a lot, but out of my wrist, no real recepy.
Together with the Satésauce, which is made from the same ingredients but with peanutbutter. It is absolutely great.

Another dish is Fish very hot, Vis bedis.
Take alu foil. take garlich, chili (a lot) some small chopped onion, some herbs you just like. Close the foil and put it on the bbq.
It tast great.

I would love this recipe!

Subscribing to this thread. I'm looking for some meal ideas for traveling. For example, I'll be driving from Pennsylvania to Arizona for Overland Expo West. What are some meals I can kinda make ahead of time (say, marinate in a bag), so that at the end of a long day I can fire up the stove and cook dinner with minimal setup/prep?

I loved your apple and cinnamon scrolls you did in the camp oven at lake Victoria

 

[lis-a-lux]

maybe try a omlette mix in a sip lock bag and boil for less mess. or pancake mix in a freezerbag with pipe bag over it, for less mess. leave the mess at home and enjoy the surrounds.

I eat so much better (both at home and camping) since I started dating my wife. She is Mexican and loves to cook but doesn't only cook Mexican food, although she does that very well. When we camp she plans the menu ahead of time and like to prep as much ahead of time as possible. One of our favorites (and one of the easiest) is biscuits and gravy. She makes homemade biscuits and sausage gravy the day before we head out and we pack them in the cooler. Just reheat the gravy, pop in a few biscuits and it's an amazing way to start the day.

The Tembo Tusk Cookbook was just released a few days ago, loaded with lots of recipes for the camp. [LINK]

Demitri's bloody mary seasoning makes an amazing steak marinade. Strait up no other ingredients.
Also makes bloody marys.

Had a good time reading this thread- thought I'd resurrect with a few recent successful meals we've made.

First is personal pizzas on the Coleman oven. Used naan bread, a jar of pizza sauce, pepperoni and cheese. Very quick and tasted great:



I also found that many grocery stores sell a small "tub" of veggies for stirfry pre-sliced for about $5. Steak or sausage on the skottle first then add veggies and steam with a lid. Even my picky kids enjoyed it:



Finally, I love a savory breakfast and find that defrosted tater tots make great hash browns on the skottle. Sausage or bacon first, then potatoes, and finish up with some eggs and enjoy. And I'm always impressed with how easily the skottle cleans up.
