Recipes for travelling with the Thermomix-caravan/camping etc.

[cookie1]

Here we go. Please add all your tried and true recipes.
I've found some of the easiest recipes for travelling are all sorts of risottos, just add whatever you have. You only need to take the rice, stock and parmesan.
We also love Judy's Beef and Beer.

I'll add more as I think of them.

Meatballs / Rissoles

We tend to go camping on the Isle of Wight where the in-laws live.  So I often do all-in-one fish dishes with freshly caught fish or, like cookie said, risottos.  Soups too, obviously.  I think I'm going to try Chelsea's Bangers and mash http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3821.0 this year too.

Any of the all in one meals would work for us - it's less washing up at the end!!  I thought we had a category for these now and wanted to put the URL here for easy reference for everyone.  But apparently not, and they're quite hard to find using the search function too (for me at least).  I'm off to ask MM if he'll add an extra category for us.

Having said that, it isn't unusual for me to do the side veg in thermie, and bbq some meat.

Hurray for MM.   In case you haven't already noticed, there's now an All-in-one category on the home page.  Thanks MM.

I will include a category of 'all in ones' but to me that seems like the dreaded 'boil in the bag' which I won't go near, not even back packing!
As I have said in my posts camping does not have to be 'slumming it' in any shape or form. Those who think it is have clearly no experience of 'real modern camping'. Take yourself off and have a look at what is out there, just seen a camper/RV which is available for £100k! includes a bath!!!!

oh dont agree with all in ones being like boil in the bag??there are some lovely meals..just means they are meals that you cook all at once and dont have multiple cooking stages ie all the ingredients in and different layers set up and off you go..not only good for while your away but also for busy families who dont have alot of time for preparation and cooking.  i dont think it comes down to slumming it as seriously slumming it with a thermomix doesnt really go, just simplifying life and enjoying more the holiday than spending your time cooking and taking so many bits and pieces and ingredients with you or being able to store them (even in an luxury camper)..!

[timfulford]

cooking is something we do as a family of 6, with or without the TM. getting the ingredients together is all part of the process which we do together, getting everything ready so that it is all arriving at the correct time is about planning the process, again something we do together whether on holiday or at home.
Yes we do some all in one meals but everyday. Yes some are excellent but just because you are on holiday does not mean that you need to go down this route.
I did not imply that all in one was slumming it, rather that camping does not need to be slumming it which was what some respondents were suggesting

[Frozzie]

good to hear you all get involved but think the majority of people on holiday like to keep it tasty but simple..think it all comes down to having a break now and then    If your after just good meals and it doesnt change much for you from home or away then why ask for meals for camping??? Maybe you should have just asked for everyones favourite meals which there is a thread for here regarding members top 10 or preferred meals and another here for ideas for what members are cooking each day here where you have 318 pages to get through!  If this is still not what your after maybe you need to be a bit more speciifc in what your after?

[timfulford]

Ok folks still working on this an have found the perfect accompaniment to the TN when camping!  Yes its a Cobb BBQ system, beautifully styled and technologically sound just like the TM but it will enable you bake, make pizza and do all the things that you do in the oven when you have been using your TM at home.
For those who are going to respond about weight, size etc. Taking the TM camping is easy and not an issue except if you go back packing in which case you probably wont want to carry the TM or a Cobb but for us car based campers who do not tow a caravan and therefore don't have an oven this is an excellent coast effective solution.
I will keep you posted how we get on with this during the summer as we head off on our holidays.

Here's the link to this machine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djhQbWhAxzc

Available in Australia by the look of it, just google it.

We've met quite a few people who have these and like them. We don't as we have the vaqn and take an Easy Cook with us.
If you are unsure what it is this may help.

[judydawn]

Does it really clean itself Cookie, I know people wonder that about the TMX so I can wonder the same about the Easy Cook 

[cookie1]

More or less. You just put the water and a bit of detergent in it and put it on for a bit. I still like to give it a wash, especially after cooking a roast in it.

[judydawn]

Australians would have seen the magazine 'Escape' in last Sunday's paper in which it referred to a recipe book for campers called 'The Holiday Lifestyle Cookbook'.  There were a few recipes in the magazine from the book and I made the Quick & Simple Apple Pie using my own stewed apples done in the TMX and not a can as per the recipe.  Nothing startling but certainly easy.  Just wondered if Australian campers might like to investigate this book to take away with them although having a TMX, I doubt if it is necessary.

make pizza and do all the things that you do in the oven when you have been using your TM at home.

...interesting mindmapper. I look forward to hearing how you found the Cobb. It really does look good, and if you can also make pizza's, roasts etc its sounds like it could be put to good use - especially in Australia where it is too hot to cook inside during the high temps in Summer.
