A lasagne, the perfect meal for a nice day. It is filled with flavour and you can even customise it for whatever you like. Whilst vegan cheese and dairy alternatives exist, I’ve not found one I like that much, and so in this meal rather than try and create a substitute for the béchamel or cheese, I’ve just ignored them and done without! In place of beef, I used Merchant Gourmet French Tomatoey Puy & Green Lentils.

A warming tomato bean stew is a great pick-me-up after a walk, or even part way through a long walk. With just a few simple ingredients you can make a deep smokey flavoured stew that is perfect with couscous. This recipe uses a great ingredient for simple outdoors cooking - pizza sauce. It’s essentially tomato passata, onion, garlic and herbs all combined for you in an easy to carry tin. Perfect for quickly making a tomato sauce to go with any kind of pasta or couscous.

I had an amazing dinner at Xi’an Biang Biang Noodles - large flat noodles covered in chilli oil with chunky oyster mushrooms. Lush. This is my version of that kind of meal, optimised for cooking in the woods with minimal fuss! In this recipe, I use dried mushrooms. Cooking the tofu and noodles in the broth infuses them with an amazing mushroomy flavour. Cooked in the mess tin, a brilliant one-pot-wonder meal that really packs a hot and spicy punch.
