Cooking outdoors (social)

🌧️ THIS EVENT IS BEINNG POSTPONED FOR ANOTHER DAY DUE TO RAIN 🌧️

Social lunch with an outdoor twist!

Bring your favourite recipe and ingredients and let's cook and eat together outside.

The rules ...
Your food can't be a store-bought, ready to eat packet. Bringing a recipe will help others with ideas for thier camping trips. Please don't bring something pre made at home, for the same reason.

It has to be hot and cooked on your stove. That way we can check out each other's kitchen gear :)

The recipe can be simple with very few ingredients. It would be something you'd realisticly have out the field.

You can cook on a fire if it is off the ground.

This is more of a social gathering so no pressure if you make mistakes. This would be the perfect time to try out a new stove or a new recipe if you wanted.

A stove
A lighter
Cookware (pan, plate, cutlery, windshield etc. )
A Sitpad/camping chair/ground sheet.
Your food!
