Why not purchase a slow cooker/crock pot. It works from the electrics with a trickle charge. Great meals can be cooked whilst you and the family are out enjoying the day. Great to come home to the smell of a good home cooked meal!

You could also consider a George Forman grill.

I have used a pressure cooker but found that cooling it down quickly isn't all that easy in the van.

From Mikes wife

I tin corned beef

Frozen peas

Onion

Butter

Rice

2 Saucepans

Put rice on to cook in normal way in pan 1. Chop onion and fry till transparent in pan 2. Add peas. Slice corned beef and layer into pan 2 on top of peas. Add a few knobs of butter on top cover and cook till the rice is done in pan 1. Serve and gobble.

Lol from memory haven't you got an all singing all dancing twin axle caravan with all the bells and whistles, what's wrong with the kitchen?

Anyway when we meet I'll show you how to make scouse, dead easyo>

We do have a twin axle Roy, but even on these there are compromises. The parallel seats are a little on the short side, the kitchen lacks work surface and the fixed bed is a little short, but adequate for the dearest and me. In fact the only things we have in abundance is wardrobe space and a huge shower. Saying there is a lack of workspace is a little naughty of me though, as it's our own fault, we have a 15inch LCD TV, and that sits on the work surface taking up space, we don't use the designated TV storage as it's too high for comfortable viewing and that old bugbear with LCD's of picture viewing angle comes into play, also I want to use the space for a microwave. So with kettle and TV, space is limited in the kitchen, the new Senator being better in this area with a nice removable draining board. I look forward to you teaching me how to cook scouse, but what is it? I know a neat and easy pasta dish that's very much a comfort food, but have no idea what scouse is.

Ok, this is getting good, some nice simple recipies here, worrying about Marks addiction to alcohol in his food though!

;o)

mark does not cook like that in the caravan but he likes cooking at home trying different recipes, he was trained as a chef, l do most of the cooking in the caravan but mark is in charge of the barbecue, we mainly have simple meals like pasta and a ready made sauce or jacket potato and salad,

Hi Sharon, if this is about the remark I made regarding Marks addiction to alcohol, I apologise, it was said in jest, when you cook with alcohol, it gets burnt off, hope you or Mark didn't take it the wrong way. As for your recipies, they look quite suitable for the caravan to me, particularly the Cajun Lamb.

What made mark decide not to continue with being a chef?

Hi Lol, scouse is basically a stew made from meat and veg all in one pan, it's an old Liverpool dish (a bit like myself) hence the name scouser

Thanks for the offer but my mum always told me to keep away from men north of Watford Gap. Sorry - I'm sure your dish is absolutely delicious it's just that a woman needs to be wined and dined, not eating out of a 'pan'.

Lisa.
