The caravan has a tiny kitchen, with three working gas burners and a very small electric oven. It’s lack of storage space has meant that we have no room for electrical appliances like mixers or blenders, making everything a manual process when it comes to food preparation . So, meals have to be simple.
But that doesn’t mean that they can’t be good. We’re working hard on the house and croft, and we need sustenance. An army marches on its stomach!
I’ve looked back at some of the meals that we’ve produced in the caravan with our one baking tin and I’m pleased to see that we’ve actually managed OK.
The eagle-eyed amongst you will notice that we seem to be heavy on the sweet treats! No apologies for that. It’s true to say that this build is being fuelled by cake…

All beautiful. I live in the lobster capital of the world 9or so we like to think) and I’ve never heard of or tried langoustines!

They taste very similar to lobster or prawns – a sweet tasting white meat. They thrive in the cold waters here. I love lobster too 😋

Love it. We just existed without a kitchen apart from a gash carcass for the sink and a small put-you-up prep table for several months. Have empathy for what you can and can’t do. You will get there and have all of that worktop space as needed!
Great to see the posts.
p.s. the Globe Artichokes are not ready yet, but we have so many Nisperro that any amount of liquor, chutney or marmalade making is not keeping up. Your almonds are doing just fine…furry fellows, should be good for September or October.
Have a lovely time and stay safe!

Husband says you lucky b@stds…loquats are his favourite fruit (being from Istanbul) and he misses them. We managed a couple of times to find a few in London, but nay chance up here in the Scottish wilderness. I wonder if I could grow them in the polytunnel… 🤔

Oh yes!! loquots are a standard here too. They are a gorgeous fruit and have the enviable position of being the mother of forests; in our area, a loquot tree attracts bats, the bats eat the fruit and poop seeds from native fruit trees that fruit at the same time. If the tree is left to it’s own devices for a decade, a small rainforest patch grows. The tree provides shade and cold protection for the little seedlings in it’s care. I plan to plant a few here for the fruit, the bat food and to provide natural dye (from the leaves).
You could try planting one in a poly tube and see how it goes. They will grow from seed.

What lovely meals you can create in a small space with no equipment. When we were in the same situation, I used it as an excuse to serve stew every night.

We lived in a property with a tiny kitchen for a few months before moving into our house, and I know how tricky it is to cook and bake in a small space and with an oven that doesn’t heat evenly (which will more than likely be the case in the caravan). It’s amazing what you’re producing!
