Fresh and light camping dishes for spring and summer

Fresh camping dishes in spring & summer

As the days get longer and the nights milder, we're drawn back out into nature – with a tent, van, or camper. Especially in the warmer seasons, two things are crucial when cooking outdoors: freshness and simplicity .

Because nobody wants to eat heavy stews in 30-degree heat or spend hours standing over a gas stove. Much better: light camping meals that are quick to prepare, require little equipment, and still taste like you're on vacation. And that's exactly whatBOXIO Kitchen your best outdoor buddy.

What are good camping dishes for warm days?

Light meals with fresh vegetables, salads, couscous, pasta, or wraps are perfect. They don't require electricity, a large stove, or heavy equipment.

The basic idea: quick preparation, little washing up and maximum taste.

With the compact gas cooker in the Withthe BOXIO Kitchen and the clever work surface of the BOXIO Table, you can even get started in the middle of the forest, at the campsite or on the beach – without any electricity and still comfortably.
