Van Life Cookbook

The idea of this book came about in the summer of 2020 when husband and wife duo Danny and Hailee put the finishing touches on their van towards end of the nationwide lockdown. By telling their story and sharing a few helpful hints of what worked and what didn't, they hope to inspire those seeking something similar.  THE VAN LIFE COOKBOOK goes beyond a collection of recipes that can be made on a two-ring gas hob. It's a book about an approach to cooking and eating that saves money, time, is good for your health and finds the best from the immediate environment. If you dig below the surface and look past the convenience of the supermarket, the numerous unhealthy takeaways, disappointing restaurants, and fast food advertising there's a whole world of independent producers waiting to be discovered. Maximising time outdoors, minimising time in supermarket queues and eating more thriftily is a mindful approach. Inventive preparation of food feeds creativity, autonomy, and nourishes a conscious style in the kitchen. Most of all, it's fun! Contents include: Cooking and Approach, The Joys of Foraging, Breakfast and Brunch, Lunch and Snacks, Dinner, Dessert, Condiments, Sauces and Drinks, Index/List of Suppliers, Markets and Meal-kits.
