Camp Oven Dinner

I couldn’t fit my recipes into the book so here they are.  Yummy food cooked on the fire as we worked our way around Australia, each one carrying with it some wonderful memories.

Through our years of being on the road we have learned to adapt and create our meals to suit the camp oven. Cooking over an open fire, it is possible to produce healthy, delicious meals without hours of preparation.  Our grandchildren even eat their vegetables, especially those cooked in foil over the coals.  Relaxing by the fire with a glass of red while a delicious meal simmers in the camp oven is a time of day to look forward to.
