While some say there is nothing better than a warm and yummy meal at a camp out, as
Grubmaster I can say that there is nothing more satisfying than seeing and hearing the response to meals that I have cooked for leaders and scouts alike.
I can assure you I am not a professionally trained chef nor do I have any unique skills or insights in the kitchen. Cooking a great meal just relies on understanding and following some basic principles of cooking. In this series of blog posts, I will offer the foundational elements needed to produce food that looks, smells, and tastes great.
In this blog series, we will cover the following topics:
Safety & Cleanliness
Learning to cook
Camp Cooking vs. “Traditional"
Meal Planning
Meal Prep
Cooking Skills
Clean up
I hope through this blog series that you are inspired to cook some delicious meals for your patrols!!
Yours in Scouting,
Grubmaster and ASM Alan Blatter
