#32 - Cooking Ancestrally in a Van
Description
A tiny kitchen. No oven. A miniscule fridge. No electric power. A small two-burner hob. Prep space the size of a chopping board.
Lots of us think we have small kitchens, but imagine cooking nutrient-dense food in these circumstances.
That is exactly what our guest, Charlie Burton did - for her, her husband and their two young children...for two years! And all whilst travelling around Europe in a van.
Listen into this episode to hear:
- How Charlie cooked three meals a day and lived in a six-and-a-half metre long van and what advice she'd pass on to all of us with limited space.
- How she managed to find really good food on the move, despite the cultural and linguist challenges.
- The beautiful food highlights of her trip, including an amazing ancestral-style heaven in Slovenia.
- How she regularly made pizza without an oven!
- The constraints and restrictions she experienced on the way and how both of these things can actually support us to live and cook the way we really want to.
