it can get a little difficult to cook anything of substance hunched over a steaming pot while someone else cuts onions right on top you.
Living in a van is no joke. Unless you’re constantly on the move, or parked somewhere down in Mexico for a month, it can get a little tiresome. A few years ago, I spent about three months in van. My girlfriend – who I somehow convinced that getting in a van and driving from Canada to Southern California was a good idea– and I bounced around various places for three months, staying mainly in Venice, CA, for work. You can read about the whole trip here, here, and here, if you’re interested.
For the most part, we ate well. We’re both decent cooks, but it can get a little difficult to cook anything of substance hunched over a steaming pot while someone else cuts onions right on top you. A few days ago, I stumbled across something on a blog called Sprinter Van Dairies that would have been the most helpful thing we could have taken with us: the Vanlife Cookbook.
Sprinter Van Diaries, as you can imagine, is a diary of two people and their dog who quit their jobs to drive the Americas in a rigged out Sprinter Van. They are awesome. Follow them on Instagram @sprintervandairies and download their cookbook here.
