Camp Cooking Essentials; Thursday, 06/15.
"Sometimes," Ignis said, with a nod toward where the students were gathered in preparation to get started on this week's lesson, "one of your most useful tools when cooking for camp or out on the field is one of the most basic." And here, he held up a long thin box for emphasis. "And that is a good foil. While there are many products on the market and tools to help out your outdoor kitchen, this is something you can almost bring on any camping trip or excursion that is easy, convenient, and not too terribly costly. The key is that you can use it as a way to encapsulate all your ingredients and use the heat of the fire and a little bit of steam to create incredibly complex and delicious meals with little preparation or effort.
"So today, I'd like to explore some possibilities as to what you can make with a foil meal. I have a few basic recipes for ideas, including a classic, time honored pizza, for inspiration, but I would also like you to perhaps use your own imaginations and tastes and experience in camp cooking thus far to see what you might come up with for yourself.
"In a way," he continued, with a note of encouragement, "the versatility and simplicity of a foil packet meal means there are a wide variety of possibilities. If there's something you're unsure of how to recreate with this method, go ahead and ask, and we'll see if we can't figure something out. Or, simply put together all of your favorite ingredients and see how they might turn out. Because the concept is so simple, we should have plenty of time to try things and experiment."
