Cooking in a Caravan: Share Your Best Recipes

Whether we are away for a few days or 10 weeks I always cook. 

On long trips I tend to cook and freezer thing like curry, lasagne, chilli, bolognase etc. before going away. That way if we have a long days drive there is something home made ready in a jiff. I also cook a chicken and quarter it so its ready for a salad. Potato salad and coleslaw is always made and ready in the fridge. 

I don't like ping meals but I have on the odd occasion bought a nice curry from M&S and enjoyed it. I like cooking and don't find it a chore, the MH has a smallish oven/grill but its enough for the 2 of us I can easily cook a roast dinner in it. I also have a Remoska which lives in the MH. Its excellent for when we are abroad as it works fine on 6 amps. Its also good for all kinds of meals many can all be done in the one pot. 

I don't have recipe's for the MH I just cook as I would at home, toad in the hole, casseroles, stews, curries, stir fries, roasts etc can all be done easily. We do have a Cadac BBQ but its rarely we use it. 

So does yours Micky! Rick Stein did one, called Huevos Flamenco. Very similar. 

We tend to use the microwave quite a bit in the caravan, but unfortunately it has stopped working and we are waiting for a replacement, under warranty. We recently purchased an air fryer which we intend to take with us on our next trip. Does anyone have a good recipe or two that we could try in it while away in the caravan?

I don’t have any recipes for the air fryer as such Nellie, we just use it in place of the cooker, in fact these days I tend to only use our big Rangemaster if all the family are coming for a roast. I find most things that are cooked in the oven are fine in the air fryer. I especially like new potatoes cut in half and roasted, so quick. I cook sausages, pies, chops and most other things in it. Casseroles etc are cooked in the slow cooker. Our son has purchased the silicone baskets and cooks a full English breakfast in his. All of this saves using the expensive gas bottles at our static van.

Thanks, Debs, will give the roast spuds a try. We've done chips, pork steaks, pies, chicken drumsticks, sausages and sausage rolls, and bacon & eggs so far. We do have one of the silicone baskets which make the cleaning of it easier.
