I would love to hear about a meal you cooked in the van. I’m fascinated by the logistics involved in cooking with a limited pantry, limited fridge. Do you avoid pan frying (even a small amount of grease spatter seems like a bad idea in the van)? Do you set up your cook top outside? In addition to not wanting a ton of leftovers, I imagine you wouldn’t want many left over ingredients. My fridge door right now has half jars of Thai red curry paste, gochujang, olives, peperoncini, horseradish, etc, etc. I’d love to hear what you’ve come up with to cook in the van.
Thanks for the great idea, Jacqueline! I love to cook and it was an important element for us to consider in our van build to ensure I had what I needed both mechanically and in terms of space for ingredients. Look out for an entry on cooking in the van!
