How to cook gourmet food in a van - dinner ideas on the road

[@SimonBraeck]

This is a first! Some of you asked for a video showing how we cook while on the road, so here it is! Was this helpful?

[@flyingcutless]

We cook Simon 😂😂 I’m sure I didn’t see you cook anything 👍🏻

[@SimonBraeck]

We both need to take responsibility for the dinners you know😉

[@mazdub]

The one thing I've noticed in all your vids is how good the food always looks

[@martinlaver007]

Heater vent was a stroke of genius. There i was expecting you to be cooking on the engine block 😜👍

[@SimonBraeck]

Well, van life is all about being creative I guess. It worked out well, haha!

[@jurgentreue1200]

Mashed potato, steamed fresh asparagus and pan fried fish goes really well together. I like pan fried salmon with cracked black pepper and lemon.

The ingenious last kitchen hack made my night. We use a Coleman fuel stove in our bus, we refill our reserve canister at any gas station. We need our pasta, rice and potatoes for dinner.

[@SimonBraeck]

The diesel heater is useful in many ways😂 Nice, we had to use a portable stove too during our latest trip when our main kitchen gas was empty.

This is when Vanlife turns into this “ahh no, this pretty bad weather outside” mood -so we get cosy and cook something special inside the van ;) One of the best thing you can do in this kind of situation :) Thanks for sharing Benedikta and Simon B-)

[@SimonBraeck]

I agree, we’re lucky to have good food in the fridge and a warm van to snuggle up in. You can make some really good food in these simple kitchens. Thanks for watching :)

A lid on the pan speeds up cooking, saves fuel and reduces the amount of steam in the van.

You 2 make better food in a camper van than some knuckle draggers do in a house. Healthy, tasty & interesting food 👍

[@SimonBraeck]

Haha, well, you need some treats on the road I guess😊👍🏼 Thanks!

[@emilioarroyo2098]

Nice and fast way to cook, thanks for your tips.

[@SimonBraeck]

No worries! :)

[@thelittleredbus]

The food looks lovely and using the diesel heater is highly innovative! 🤣

[@alexvinnikov2967]

Hey buddy team, like your journeys' videos -> there is a good chance to heat up semi-ready pancakes just by covering it in aluminium cooking foil material ( hope it might be helpful ) ( coking foil : can easily take and stood the temperature keeping meal well heated )

[@SimonBraeck]

Hi Alex :) Great tip! Sounds quick and easy😊👍🏼

[@alexvinnikov2967]

@@SimonBraeck yeah Simon, hope it will help during you travel-ride across countries ! :) Also have such ideas of this-like lifestyle and digging the ground here -> then move finally :)

[@clovermark39]

Loving it! Lovely meals you make. Look tasty and healthy. Love that butter! 🇬🇧

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks! It was yummy😋

[@per-erlingroness5447]

Jummy...jummy. Nice meal

[@SimonBraeck]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ quality 😊

3:50 You talk about saving gas by using small potatoes. What you can also do is cover the pan with a lid so the heat stays inside the pan, which makes it possible to lower the gas dramatically. Then you are saving gas.

[@JosephPuplava]

Man...you are good at cooking and your husband is good at filming. He shoots his camera real closeup on food which makes me hungry. The food really looked good. Ah, you guys flipped the duty. Now your husband is cooking and you are filming. I guess both are good either way. The beats are nice to hear at the end.

[@SimonBraeck]

It’s important to share the dinner duties😄 thanks for watching!

[@GermanKorb]

Nice! I usually cook with oil, but now I'm tempted to cook with butter :)

[@SimonBraeck]

Oh yes, it’s sooo good😄😋😋

[@foodgallerysl]

Wow. It looks so yummy 😍😍😍😍😍 . Thank you for sharing with us ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jakirhussain4674]

Beautiful

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you😊

[@hemzu75]

Wonderfull Benedik ! Beautiful eyes!

[@SimonBraeck]

Indeed😍

[@EinarSkaug]

Artig tvist på slutten. hehe. Vet om andre som har pakket maten inn i alu-folie og lagt den på manifolden for så å kjøre seg en tur.

[@SimonBraeck]

Ja, har sett folk surre en sandwich etc. fast med hønsenetting eller lignende. Funker sikkert fint det også!

[@star1923]

Great! Using the heat from the engine for cooking, was something the car producers came out with quite early... www.nrk.no/kultur/polser-i-motoren_-1.6600829 Got myself a T4 Calif, just before march. The kitchen comes with alcohol burners, instead of gas... Im sure that is both positive - and negative.

Song name pls pls

Nice meal and composition 👍 But: Stop buying food in plastic!

[@nomadcarpenter8549]

Easier said than done

[@D4vidSH]

@@nomadcarpenter8549 I know. But I do my very best to avoid 😊🖖

[@NiVa46]

Far away from covid 19. 😂

[@SimonBraeck]

Yes indeed! No virus in that van😂

[@dr.realshit6512]

Do you have exhaust fan for your stove,?

[@SimonBraeck]

This is a rental van, I’m not sure about all the details
