Attempting the big one...

[MsT2]

As a newby campervan owner (Aug 21) but fairly decent cook I have decided to attempt the full deal for Christmas. Picture of Dottie's kitchen for reference!

Menu

Breakfast - Soft scrambled eggs with Pigs in Blankets

Lunch - Seafood spectacular

Dinner - Duck crown with confit legs, roasted veg, creamed sprouts and spiced cabbage

Supper - Cheese board, Florentines and sweets

Wish me luck... I may update with pics if anyone is interested!

 

[WillinFrance]

Sounds very nice. Good luck..

Top tip: don't forget to pack a oven thermometer to ensure your stuff cooks at the correct temperature.

PS are you taking table bookings?

 

[DiggerJon]

I hope the only thing that burns is your ambition!

Last year we cooked some of the Christmas dinner in the motorhome because the oven in the house was full. It’s a better oven in the motorhome than the house one.

You mentioned me?

Behave... No glass, it's dangerous. First box might be feeling a bit light however!!

You and yours too x

 

[Jamesh]

Make sure you have enough gas and a microwave for back up!!

 

[MsT2]

Wild camping so no hookup... But 2 full gas bottles when we set off!

Full Sunday roast every time we go away....sure "The Big One" Will be just as easy peasy...
Oh and no microwave required.

 

[MsT2]

It's here... First course done. Twas scrummy.

I'm an hour or so behind my (self imposed) schedule but that is thanks to the wine last night!!

 

[MsT2]

Course 2 achieved!

 

[MsT2]

Blowing a literal hoolie!! But we made it... Change of gas bottle (we can only carry babies!), at the last second and the crown is a touch over for my tastes but... Yum!

 

[MsT2]

Sorry... Now with pics!

Good luck. Looks fab. I have never felt the necessity to cater to a lower standard in the van than I would at home. The key question has to be, 'would I be happy if this were to be my last meal' ?

Couldn't have said it better myself!!

Finally... With feet up and port to nibble/chill with for the rest of (awake) Christmas day xx

Better than we had at a restaurant today!

 

[poppycamper]

So Easy Peasy then... looks like you had good day.. IMV cooking in 'van is shied away from by a lot of folk who don't think it is possible.... Yes it is nice to go out to eat when on holiday but it is equally as nice to stay in and create your own.
MMMMMMMMMMM

Which poor begger got to do all the washing up though!
