Is that with a glass of wine whilst cooking Sarah.   I feel as if it is less of a chore, and more of a chill out, having a glass of wine whilst cooking.

One pan on my Trangia fills a bowl each for me and my wife. I fry any veg I've got and season with stock cubes and tomato puree. I'll chuck in wholemeal pasta for carbs, and some sort of peas or beans for protein. I put peanut butter in to thicken it, and Encona chilli sauce to give it some pizazz. This "camping food" never tastes as good at home.

I like to get my drink on during the cooking process too

There are a lot of wonderful dishes that you can prepare on a couple of gas burners. However, there are two ranges of supermarket food that make wonderful meals very simple. Charlie Bigham has a wide range of essentially stir fry ingredients and the latest Morrisons sous vide dishes require nothing more that boiling the bags in which they are prepared.

Oh yes! Cooking without a glass of wine on the go would be a sin!!

I am a lazy cook when camping alone. One thing that works for me is a mix of tinned Bombay potatoes, butter beans and diced corned beef. Looks like an upmarket dogfood, but tastes good and is filling and warming if the weather's a bit off. Cordon bleu it ain't! But neither am I...

It has to be pretty simple for me, so I usually go with either soup or rice with some sort of sauce. Everything else I usually buy locally so it depends on what kind of choice there is in the nearest shops. A bottle or two of Pear Cider is usually a must though!

Favourites which my grandchildren tucked into:

* Cook fresh - or tinned/frozen - vegetables and add tin mince & onion or stewed steak with extra gravy, mop up with bread.
* Cook a packet of savoury rice & vege but leave some water then stir in cubes of corned beef and grated cheddar cheese.
Both easy to cook and only 1 pan, 1 burner.

As a solo camper I usually try to eat similar to when at home and use a Coleman grill/stove
grilled salmon, steak, chicken or pork with new potatoes and salad or fresh vege. Afters is usually pie or swiss roll with custard; some sort of cake; fresh fruit or cheese and biscuits

I tend to eat a cooked breakfast in the morning when I go camping and that normally lasts me until the evening, with perhaps just a bit of nibbles in the afternoon when I feel peckish.

I would make "breakfast packs" consisting of a sausage, 3 rashes of streaky bacon and a couple of rounds of black pudding, and vacuum-packed then freeze them until required.

I love BBQ of home-made burgers, belly pork slices, chicken thighs, lamb ribs, steak, etc., all marinated if required first then individually vacuum-packed and frozen. I would take a selection and store in thermal-electric cool box until required.

Other dishes I like to cook are stir-fries using the meat intended for BBQ if weather is not favourable for BBQs.

Pan-fried steak with a green salad and a spicy cous cous is one of my favourite dish. As is pan-fried diced Chorizo sausage with vegetable with spicy cous cous.

My starches of choice are rice and cous cous, with the occasional pasta.

I would have to re-think about food for my 2-week trip to Scotland as I would probably need to buy and cook fresh food, rather than to eat from the freezer so to speak.

Happy days ahead, cooking and eating al fresco, one of the joys of camping!

I always cook omellettes when camping but never at home - served with a fresh green salad and crusty bread.
Tasty and so easy to do!

Easiest desert for the kids you could possibly have is toasted marshmallows... Take 10 seconds to do on the BBQ or stove and we all love them!!! Not very healthy but a lovely treat!

The last two weekend we have been away, I have made stovies the nigh before so they can just be heated up on the night off arrival. Breakfast is normally a big cooked breakfast so that fills us up to the night time when it's been a stir fry or BBQ . I love cooking and eating out doors it is so stress free.
