since TrailManors are elegant and sophisticated trailers with such complete and roomy galley areas, I get a kick out of preparing fairly fancy foods that just aren't expected while camping. For instance, I pretty regularly bake up some
Brie en Croute to serve as an appetizer on the 1st or 2nd afternoon of my "camping" trips. Not terribly hard to make (I do the prep before I leave home) but really impresses others in the campground when they see you noshing on an elegant appetizer...served, of course, with imported crackers, slices of pear or apple, and a glass of good white wine.

And, yeah, I gotta admit that without kids it's a whole lot easier to get fancy. And baking is a lot easier when the afternoon thunderstorms often knock the temperature in the high altitude campgrounds I use down into the 40s even in mid summer. (Not only do these storm lowered temperatures make it feasible to use the oven but often virtually necessitate its use to keep the TM comfortable!).
My real trick to let me do all this fancy cookery is planning and preparing as much as possible before I leave home...and packaging the ingredients in a bunch of little bottles and containers. The ones that I also use for backpack camping work great (
