Glover's cookbook is not just about recipes – it's about harnessing the spirit of adventure in your cooking. Her dishes are tailored for the open road, ensuring you never compromise on taste, even in a mobile kitchen.

Space constraints demand a well-curated ingredient list – versatile, long-lasting, and requiring minimal fuss.

• Rice and Pasta: Compact and versatile staples for numerous dishes.
• Lentils and Beans: High in nutrients and do not require refrigeration.
• Flour: Essential for baking and cooking needs.
• Activated Yeast: Ideal for bread-making, with a long shelf life.
• Bouillon Cubes: Small but packed with flavor for your dishes.
• Spices and Condiments: Small in size but massive in flavor transformation.
• Cooking Oil: A cooking fundamental, great for sautéing, frying, and more.
• Coffee/Tea: Compact and refreshing beverage options.

Organization is key. Think magnetic strips for knives, collapsible containers for space economy, and making the best out of every available corner.

Forethought is your friend. Plan meals to ensure no food wastage and a steady supply of provisions. A weekly menu, taking into account ingredient shelf life, can be a lifesaver.

Constrained spaces often breed innovation. Experiment with one-pot wonders, tap into unconventional flavor pairings, or modify traditional recipes to suit your van life.
