The Outdoor Pantry

We think that the food you take on expeditions should be exciting, delicious, nourishing, and still good to eat after 4 days of the ingredients being in the bottom of your bag (or a sun-baked barrel)! The recipes you’ll find here should help with that.

Quesadillas

This recipe is a simple one and contains gooey cheese, so they’re comforting when you tuck into them. These are hot little pockets of carbohydrate, protein, fat, and salt. All things your expedition body is crying out for whilst you’re out on an adventure.

Perfectly Practical Pancakes

This is one of those recipes that is as good for breakfast, lunch, or even as a desert, but we have often seen people (young and old) struggle with this simple dish while camping. All you have to do is watch Blue Peter (a long running BBC kids show, for those not in the UK) presenter’s attempts in a kitchen to know it can be much worse outside. We have, however, developed a recipe and a method that is quite forgiving, meaning that you can just get on with eating delicious pancakes on camp.

Angel Delight

A blast from the past powdered dessert mix, that is designed to be whisked with milk to create a sweet mousse-like dessert. Available in strawberry, raspberry, banana, butterscotch, and chocolate flavours. It is a dessert that can divide people, however we quite like it, and after a little experimentation we found that we could make it well while out adventuring.

BBQ Pork Wraps

Our BBQ Pork Wraps Recipe is a comforting meal, which is exactly what is needed after a long day adventuring. We have found a simple method that allows you to make BBQ pork filling relatively quickly and with very little effort. If cooking in a group it can also be a great meal to serve “family style” where everyone can dig in and you don’t even need a plate, so less washing up!

Spicy Sausage Risotto

This is one of our go to recipes whilst out adventuring and is just as well suited to when it is cold and pouring with rain, as it is on a warm summer evening by the sea watching the sun go down.

Satay Expedition Curry

This is a recipe that we have been experimenting with for a few years now, and we think we have something that ticks all the satay boxes. This curry has plenty of flavour and can be made from shelf stable ingredients so it will keep nicely even in a hot barrel for weeks at a time.

Adventure Stew

Recipe for Adventure Stew. In essence this is vegetables and protein in gravy. The key part is that the ingredients do not weigh much yet it feels satisfyingly heavy when you eat it. This stew can equally be cooked from dry ingredients found in most supermarkets as it can be from pre-adventure home dehydrated ingredients.
