Tasty, hot and hearty are the things I want when it comes to camping food because being outdoors generally means I’m active, which leaves me ravenous. Outdoor adventures are no time to be nibbling on salads or restricting calories in my opinion, so one of the main things I look for in freeze-dried food is their ‘hearty quotient’ or to put it more simply, will they fill me up and give me enough energy to get by until my next meal?

I was due to go on a solo glamping trip recently and with no hob or oven inside the accommodation, it gave me the perfect opportunity to try out some freeze dried meals from Summit To Eat.

How to make the meals

Make sure you follow the instructions as they differ slightly depending on your meal choice, and make sure you remember to remove the oxygen absorbing sachet from inside before pouring in hot water! There are various fill lines on the inside the pouch and each meal has different fill instructions. All you need to do is fill with boiling water to the appropriate fill line, seal and leave to hydrate for 8 minutes, then simply eat right out of the pouch.

The Verdict

The first one I tried was chicken tikka with rice. I love curry, and I make a mean chicken curry but I was frankly amazed by the flavour. There’s no denying that dehydrated meals always look a bit grim, but the taste more than made up for it, in fact, it was so nice that I’ve already ordered myself some more because they are so tasty and handy.

The following morning I tried the oats with raspberry (delicious, warming and filling) and that evening I had the Chicken fajita meal, and again, it was delicious. To say that I’ve been very pleasantly surprised by the taste and quality of Summit To Eat adventure food would be a understatement, honestly, they’ve wowed me and are meals I’ll definitely be turning to again for future camping trips.
