As my picture shows, I've suddenly become younger :-)  DD was of the opinion that her picture should be here, not mine!

thanks caroline..JD put the same link up earlier in the post..pity it didnt go very far..perhaps mindmapper post a request for further recipes on that link since thats what your after..there is also the 'all in one meals' that caroline created on the main page which im sure would be handy in camping..as long as the ingredients list wasnt too detailed...

re the camping doesnt have to be slumming it..for me personally its not just the accom which can be quite ok, especially for some camping cars etc its more the ambience and feel in camping parks etc that im not a fan of...and understand thats the very reason why some people love camping...i much prefer an apartment or hotel where we have our own little space and privacy..think we have also gotten a little too used to our lifestyle and comfort and look for the same when we are away on holidays...good that everyone is different and we all like different things...hopefully cookie or some of the other campers can help you out in your search for camping friendly thx recipes  :)

OK here I am mindmapper. WE are in Monkey Mia and last night we had a similar dish to Baf's chicken but I did curry paste and chopped onions in the bowl before putting in the stock. I then thickened the sauce with a little floour (Forgot the cornflour) and served the sauce over the vegies.
Tonight I have some sliced stir fry steak marinating in soy, ginger, EVOO. I plan to put it in the bottom of the varoma, while I cook some rice. Vegies in the varoma too. then mix it all together and flavour with soy etc if needed. This is sort of Jo's recipe.
The other night we had a chicken risotto. We often have soup if it is cool enough.
I don't have an oven in my van so am limited a bit.
Will keep you updated on what we eat.

Hi Mindmapper - just in case you were wondering (as I am pretty sure you live in the UK) Monkey Mia is a pretty remote dot on the map near the Topic of Capricorn on the west coast of WA.  As I recall there were very few facilities there (or at least that was the case when I was there approx. 20 years ago and I don't think it will have changed too much), so it's pretty serious camping out there.

Not a lot CP63. It has been quite windy and I am a scaredy cat and won't go out in the wind. No one in the camp does really. We all sit around and set the world to rights. So far all we have been able to bring to shore is 2 cod and 1 slate snapper. all the other fish we have caught have been undersize and we threw them back. Except for the NW blowies DH carved up and the 5 foot shark I made him cut the line on.
