If you are going to be away from home for any length of time, then you will quickly discover that it is cheaper and more nutritious to prepare your own meals. There may also be times when you are on the road that you won't have easy access to pre-prepared meals or even all your regular supermarket favourites.

So nomadsβ€”regardless of whether you are travelling in an RV or van, camping, or caravanningβ€”will need to be flexible, organised and plan ahead. In The Nomad's Guide to Cooking on the Road, you will find useful tips on preparing and stocking your mobile kitchen, essential equipment, purchasing and storing kitchen essentials, and preparing simple and tasty meals that will ensure you use your time in the kitchen effectively and spend less time shopping and cooking, allowing more time to enjoy your travels in the great outdoors.

Most of the recipes can be made using a range of cooking methods, so you can utilise whatever method you have available, from the BBQ to the air fryer. You will be amazed at the delicious meals you can create with limited kitchen equipment!
