The Slow Road Cookbook: Camp Cooking for Family Adventures

Mums only want the best for their families. But Kirianna didn’t find that in a big house in the middle of suburbia. Instead, she’s spent five years travelling with her family in their vintage Kombi. Life travels slowly in an old campervan, and for Kirianna, that means lots of time to dream up simple, hearty food that’s perfect for camping. Schooled in her Dad’s restaurants and inspired by a slow-paced life, she knows that good food is the foundation of awesome family adventures. Forget instant noodles; The Slow Road Cookbook is filled with the meals she grew up with in New Zealand, flavors she’s savored around the world, and camping classics born in the great outdoors. With over 80 recipes, including some sneaky cocktails, you’ll never lack for choice. With a baby strapped to her chest and two kids exploring around her, this is food for families who crave a slower life and more connection. One tree is planted for every copy sold to make sure this book does more good than harm.

Using ingredients you can find everywhere, Kirianna’s slow food philosophy centres around seasonal and local produce, and her Māori heritage and international travels influence her recipes.
