It is not always so easy to cook something tasty when you are going on an expedition or hiking for several days and you have to take all the food with you.

What to consider for outdoor dishes?

• The ingredients should not be too heavy or take up too much space.
• But they should give you enough energy so that you are fit enough for the effort.
• Depending on where you are traveling, they should also not need to be stored in a cool place or run the risk of freezing (z.B. in the arctic winter). You may need to carry water with you on your expedition, so you should use water sparingly.
• And of course, on an expedition or multi-day hike, you don't have all kinds of pots and pans with you, which is something else to consider when choosing your dishes and the order in which you prepare your food.

And if then the outdoor recipes should be vegetarian or vegan and delicious, then it is already quite a challenge.

Tips for outdoor recipes hiking, trekking, kayaking, etc.

• I try to use ingredients for multiple dishes when possible. For example, I use one onion for two dishes, half for each dish.
• If you are by the sea and fresh water is limited, for example, you can also use the salty sea water to cook pasta or rice. Attention! Make sure that the water is clean enough to do this!! Also, depending on the sea you are at, the water will be saltier or less salty – take note of that and mix in fresh water if necessary.
  By the way, camel bags are very practical to carry extra water in your kayak or backpack, as they are more flexible and adapt better to the available space.
• The quantity specification 1 cup is of course not very exact. I take a cup for measuring, which I then also take with me on the expedition, then I take this again to measure the right amount of water. How much everyone needs then is also somewhat a matter of experience.
• Couscous, rice, etc. I always pack off in advance in zip bags. These I then label and use them several times until they are broken.

Note for outdoor recipes with gas stove or other fuels

Mostly you also have a limited amount of gas resp. amount of fuel (because you usually have to carry that along), so you should also make sure that you prepare dishes that don't have to cook for too long. read more
