Some great glamping recipe ideas

Cooking great food in the outdoors with friends and family is one of the simple joys of camping, it just somehow tastes better. There’s just nothing quite like sitting around the fire with the sizzle and smell of an evening meal on the grill. You will be amazed what is possible with a few basic ingredients, a couple of good recipes and a sense of adventure.

Here are a few of our favourite recipes, all tried and tested by the Long Valley Yurts team. A special thanks to Cool Camping, Martin Dory and Sarah Randell for their recipes, they’re great and super tasty. Please feel free to download a copy of the recipes, try them at home and bring them away with you on your holidays.

Calzone

Not exactly how Mamma used to make it – but then Mamma had a well-stocked kitchen, large wine cellar and a goat called Alfredo tied to a lemon tree to help her and probably a large Pizza oven. Pah.

You can’t go camping and not have a burger. It’s the rules. Nothing better than fresh home made burgers, cooked to perfection on BBQ. Spice lovers can add a pinch of crushed dried chillies if they fancy.

Yurt cooking methods

The two-ring stove

Each of the Yurts comes with its own trusty old two-ring stove. It’s amazing what you can create with a little pre-planning and imagination.

The fire

Steaming, grilling and baking, the possibilities are almost endless. Great for the good old BBQ we have even made Calzone pizzas, for all the family. See glamping recipes section for more details on cooking with fire. All the Yurts come with their own brazier style BBQ.

The wood burning stove

All of the Yurts comes with a wood burning stove each with a small integrated oven and large hot plate, great for cooking on. A few of our guests have cooked a whole roast dinner using the oven! Why not challenge yourself one evening and cook everything using the wood burner.

Bon appetite! It would be great to see your culinary skills please feel free to take photos and upload them onto our Facebook page.
