BACKPACK COOKING-the efficient way

The critical elements with backpack cooking are “fueling, weight and ease of preparation”. The intention of this demonstration is to arm you with the correct knowledge so you can build yourself the perfect “on the go” meals.

I will combine ingredients to demonstrate the basics, explaining what a “balanced meal” is-both nutritionally and flavor, how products can be blended to give you the right fuel at the right time. Ultimately the knowledge gained will save you time, money and improve your performance. Once I have finished you will have an "Aladdin's cave of products to choose your favourite ingredients, I will be available to guide you through the more technically demanding cooking methods. Once you have made your meal, your chance to sit down, relax and enjoy the fruits of your labour.
