[Closed] campfire recipes....

I have never got past things on sticks (sausages, marshmallows) or things in foil (spuds, apples).
*watches thread with interest*

Polynesian style cooking in the ground. i.e. pit oven.

Or cook some fish which is very easy as you only need to marinate the fish with some salt then just cook over the fire.

😀

We once took a mahoosive pot that you hang over the fire Ray Meyers style. We did a curry for around 20 people in it and jacket spuds in tinfoil in the hot ashes. Was very nice.
I have dug a small hole out in the ground before now and put pans on top to cook things. I have also cooked pizza in a frying pan by covering the whole thing in hot ash and coals. Turned out pretty good as well.

Flour, water and pinch of salt.
Mix to a dough.
Pick a 2 foot twig from a live tree and peel off the bark.
Wrap dough round peeled twig and cook over fire till crispy.
(Don't eat the bark, burn it)

As above but use milk instead of water.

self saucing chocolate pudding.

make batter from flour, eggs, sugar, cocoa and so on.

put in the camp oven, then pour warm water over the back of a spoon until the surface is under water.

cook until it looks like a pudding

eat with clotted cream.

Blatant plug, but a couple of my friends wrote this a few years ago:

To be fair, not really what you are asking - but it is a useful book 🙂

Tbf binners I did think about making a spit and doing some small chickens/pork....

we cook just the normal stuff we would at home so no exciting camping specific recipes to offer unfortunately. sometimes we get local meat/eggs/produce from a local farm and go a bit freestyle...

as for the fire itself use big flat rocks around the edge of the fire to put your pots/pans on, with gaps to get some fuel/heat under. no need to make a hanging thing, plus the rocks keep whatever you've cooked warm whilst you fiddle on with getting the wine/beer out 🙂

double post doh

daftvader - a completely bonkers Croatian friend dug a fire pit in his back garden and then made a slowly rotating spit, utilising an old centrifugal pump. It was pretty bloody clever. His barby's were epic! He'd roast a suckling pig or a couple of sheep, or a few chickens. All while drinking industrial quantities of vodka.

I'd recommend it! 😀

Mrs vader is liking the sound of self saucing choc pud...

too civilized

One of those camp ovens had duck fat in and was frying chips.
