These recipes are really easy to pull together, even in a field with a tree stump as a countertop. Once the tent is up, I start on the food. It’s a good idea to have a small box of dedicated camping essentials: salt, vinegar, mustard, pepper mill, small knife, corkscrew, plastic bowls and boxes. I keep mine in the boot of the car. I’d happily have this trio as the meal with some crusty bread, although they accompany a barbecue well. I always hope there will be some left to make a flavourful breakfast the next day, with a fried egg or grilled halloumi – always the antidote to a deflated mattress or leaky tent.
