“This is a dish that would wow some house guests the minute you place it in the centre of the dinner table, so imagine the reaction from your hiking or camping buddies. Serve straight in the pan for the best visual and also saving washing up then its everyone (with a fork) for themselves for who gets the best cooked eggs.”

“Featuring the Cajun ‘ holy trinity’ of onion, celery and green pepper, or bell pepper as it would be listed in its home, it is packed with aromatics, heat and protein. Whether in New Orleans or the Newlands Horseshoe, this is a trail meal that will fill you with sunshine.”

“It seemed chocolate fondue fountains were everywhere in the mid to late 2000s,department stores to birthday parties & hotel receptions. In this post pandemic world, fondue and mountains with a carefully chosen band of skewer wielding peers is perhaps more suitable. Saying that, it wouldn’t go a miss bang centre of the table in a Swiss chalet after a day on the slopes. Enjoy this portable kind until then.”

Method (serves 4-6)

“The ingredient list for this recipe is extensive and could easily be adapted or simplified, but I know this version is delicious so I’ve provided it in it’s entirety. An all time favourite when I go camping with some peers, I’ve no doubt it will deliver the same results for your tribe.”

“Quite often it is dishes comprised of the simplest ingredients that really delight the palate. This is the epitome of that. Traditionally calling for just 4 ingredients, this Catalonian tapas plate is the perfect excuse to use the best varieties you can source.”
