Welcome to the new Campervan Chef blog! This started out life as a blog called 'Kylie's Kitchen' and ran out of steam some time ago. Since then life has changed and Kylie's Kitchen as it stood is no more. I started out as an an enthusiastic home cook but now work as a chef and cook for others in all sorts of situations. You'll find out more about this side of me if you keep tabs on my scribbles on here. I blog about food and cooking, life, family, friends and pets. I will also be keeping you up to date with our travels to our second home; the beautiful Greek island of Skiathos and the dog shelter we support there. Join us as our journey through life continues...

Jubilee roast

10.30am  Been out and picked up a leg of lamb from Annie and Ben's and another from Jen and Arthur.  The roast will take a bit of planning as cooking some at home and some at Jen and Arthur's and then (hopefully) serving it up there all in one piece...and hot!

Watch this space...need to go sort out the veg!

1pm  Dropped Wendywoo and Sam off with enough prepared spuds and swede & carrot to feed an army.

1.50pm  The Woo's sorting out the swede and carrot mash and the roasties at her mum and dad's.  I've got the parboiled parsnips and buttered leeks in the car which I'll finish off when I get round there.  Two legs of lamb about 10 minutes away from being done in the oven.  As soon as they're ready I'll foil them up and take them over to rest while I cream the leeks and the parsnips go in with the spuds.  Should get there just about in time to watch the flotilla on the kitchen TV!

2pm  Zero hour!  Lamb foiled...just hope I don't have a crash else it'll be carnage!

9.50pm  Sitting at home with a glass of vino collapso looking back on a great family afternoon with some lovely people and a pretty damn good roast!  Well, all except the parsnips which could have done with ten minutes more!  Lessons learned...always useful...per ardua ad astra etc etc
