  2. Pre-cut Ingredients: Pre-cut vegetables, marinate meats, and pre-pack spices in small containers to save time and space while cooking.
  3. One-Pot Wonders: Embrace one-pot meals like stews, chili, or curries that merge flavours and reduce clean-up efforts.

  5. Creative Wraps: Explore the world of wraps – from breakfast burritos to savoury lunch wraps, these are easy to make and eat on the go.
  6. Foil Packet Delights: Wrap seasoned ingredients in foil packets for easy cooking over coals, creating delectable and mess-free dishes.
