Now CD I already know that a couple of ladies in Queensland have put out a book with all the recipes having just 4 ingredients (see the pumpkin soup recipe in that section) - I am suspecting you might have a copy of it thinking of getting a head start on everyone else Cheesy

. It is amazing what can be made with 4 simple ingredients though and it will be interesting to see if there are some original ones posted

LEMONADE SCONES

You need:

3 cups of self-raising flour
1 cup of lemonade
1 cup of cream

Method:

1. Mix ingredients together with a knife.

2. Turn dough out onto a floured board and cut scones using a scone cutter, place scones onto floured tray.

3. Cook in oven at 210 degrees C for 10 minutes or until tops of scones are slightly browned.

A very popular recipe & you all most probably have it already. It is very clean and simple and the results speak for themselves. I have cooked this mix as a damper in one lump and it is the grouse with Cockies Joy.

All the best

This is a quick and simple feed that I knock up when camping and want to spend more time in a chair with a beer or rumbo.

SPICY CHICKEN 'N POTATO

1 kilo chicken pieces (drumsticks only is fine)
large sprinkle of Spencers Morroccan Rub
1 can of Home Brand tiny taters

Line a CO with alfoil...saves on dishes later
Rub plenty of Morroccan spices on the chicken pieces
Place in CO over moderate heat. Beads/coals on top as well
Allow 40 minutes or so for cooking.
When done there should be oil from the chicken in the CO
Drain the tint taters and add to the CO .
Stir things up a bit so the oil and seasoning coat the taters.
Allow taters to brown up and become a little crispy. (usually about 10 minutes)

Remove from the CO and dry on paper towels.

Ready to eat..( I am salivating as I type)
Recommended drink is BEER

No Carolyn you would be incorrect on that...

I am a keen camper and head cook (I also cook legs, torso's and arms etc before the smart ar*se comments come Grin

) and I just love making things tasty but with as few ingredients as I can manage due to space restrictions etc. I know about the book (I do not have one nor am I getting one) the 2 ladies have marketed but heh wouldn't it be great if WE could come up with a similar thing for camping.

"Camp Cooking the COCIA way - 4 ingredients or less"

Simple recipes for camping is what I am on about and I have thrown open the challenge for US ALL to come up with some taste bud tempting dishes that we could turn into a recipe book.

We will have to test these of course but there are already several experienced gourmet's on this site who I am sure would try most things... So there it is folks - simple is best according to Skip eh mate?

Maybe we need a spot in the recipe section JUST for simple recipes....

Grrr!!!

Long been a believer in the KISS principle and usually give a miss to those recipes that have fifty ingredients or more. How much stuff can you carry in your tucker box when you're camping outback ?

A list of tasty but easy (was going to say simple but there's enough of us here) recipes would be great.
