Heading out camping? Here's what you'll need for cooking to make sure your trip is as smooth as it is fun. First up, don’t forget a portable stove— essential for easy meal prep.

Don’t overlook plates, cups, and silverware for eating. A cooler is crucial to keep your perishables fresh, and a big water jug will ensure you stay hydrated.

A utility tent is your go-to outdoor companion when you need a bit of extra sheltered space at your campsite or during an event. Think of it as a versatile little room that can be used for anything from storing your camping gear, setting up a portable toilet, or even whipping up meals away from wind and pesky insects. These tents are usually simpler and more robust than your typical sleeping tent, designed to handle the rough and tumble of various utilities without much fuss. So, if you're looking to keep your camping life neat and organized, grabbing a utility tent might just be the trick!

Camping is a matter of taste - and what you put on your plate is even more so. When camping, it's practical to choose recipes that are simple, quick and super tasty. How about a one-pot pasta dish? Simply throw pasta, a tin of tomatoes, some vegetables and spices together in a pot and leave to simmer. Or why not try classic jacket potatoes: wrap the potatoes, put them in the fire and enjoy them later with herb quark. For breakfast, pancakes are a quick affair: simply mix the ready-made mixture with water and pop it on the camping cooker pan. You can find many more recipe ideas for your camping kitchen on our topic page - from simple dishes to real glamping meals!
