Last week our family went on our very first big camping trip together. We decided on Treachery Beach on NSW mid north coast because it is known for its great surf and I like that they allowed open fires, unlike many National parks – after all what is a camp with out a campfire! It’s a bit of a challenge deciding that you want good food when you are out of the comfort zone of your kitchen but we bought a traditional cast iron camp oven and with no idea about camp fire cooking headed off with an esky bulging with good things.I thought I’d share a few of the campfire recipes I came up with – although my chorizo and fennel seed damper will need much more work before I consider posting that recipe! Meanwhile here are 2 that did work – not the prettiest of dishes but totally delicious and satisfying…and worth trying should you find yourself in the wilderness some time soon!
