Three trail meals I actually cook

    Lamb tagine, shepherd's pie and chicken risotto. I cook these meals at home, dehydrate them, and eat them on multi-day hikes. Get my recipes, cooking instructions and rehydration methods in your inbox.

    What is in the recipes

    The meals I make in my own kitchen and carry on track.

    1. Lamb and chickpea tagine with couscous. Moroccan spices, lamb and chickpeas in a sweet-savoury sauce with dried apricots.
    2. Shepherd's pie. Lamb mince with vegetables and reconstituted mashed potato, cooked in the same pot.
    3. Chicken and spinach risotto. Arborio rice with chicken and spinach, cooked at home and rehydrated on track.
    4. Cooking and dehydration. Ingredients, methods, temperature, time and technique for each meal.
    5. Rehydration on track. Pot cosy and stovetop methods, with water amounts and timing.
    6. Measurements. Metric and imperial measurements throughout.
