Test kitchen

Next year, we are planning a trip to the South Island where we will be camping for 3 weeks without any electricity and nowhere near any supermarket (except for 4 times where we are moving from one campground to the next). So I've been scanning my recipe books for things to cook that don't contain perishable ingredients and modifying others. So each week for the next few weeks I plan to make a couple of these recipes each week to check for flavour, quantity, able to be cooked in only 1 smallish pot and a frying pan and...whether the family will eat it!

Things I have already discovered...
  • you can make white sauce with oil instead of butter or margarine for the fat
  • a box of 'no egg' (egg replacement, made for those allergic to eggs) should be all i need for recipes that contain egg eg. fritters.
