Hi Wildens!!

We don't have a built in oven either, but have one of these  http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/xchg/lidl_uk/hs.xsl/index_34030.htm  really useful (but needs EHU!)  Aldi are doing one on Thursday, but it's smaller in capacity. 

Hope that's of use!!

My caravan has no built in cooking facilities at all - I use 1 or 2 suitcase stoves to cook on.

I eat the same sort of things I'd have if I was at home:
* Chicken and vegetable fahitas
* Stew and Dumplings/Casserole
* "Roast" dinner
* Full English brekkie
* Meatballs in tomato and basil sauce with rice or pasta
* Bangers and Mash
* Jacket potatoes
* Chilli con carne
* Spaghetti bolognaise
* Spanish omelette and salad
* Pasta with chicken, peppers, onion and broccoli
* Salmon with boiled new potatoes and veg/salad
* Rissotto
* Paella
* Kebabs (seafood, chicken, vegetable)
* BBQ - burgers, sausages, chicken drumsticks, steak etc...

and for pudding:
BBQ scones
Baked bananas stuffed with Mars Bars or chocolate buttons/Flake
Flamed pineapple
Chocolate orange muffins

I have cooked all of these dishes using 2 stoves and/or a small BBQ.
I find my 3 tier stainless steel steamer very useful as you can cook a whole meal in it using just one burner.
