Camping Recipes - Paella + A Falcon Enamelware Giveaway (Closed)

I always look forward to our camping trips in the summer, and this year was no exception. My mum has been visiting from India, and we were definitely looking forward to heading back into Jasper, and I wanted to make sure that mum's first ever camping trip was going to be a success.

There is always friendly competition between Jasper and Banff National Parks - I must admit, I am firmly in the Jasper camp (no pun, honest.) I love the weird shapes of the Jasper mountains, and we are almost always guaranteed to see some beautiful wildlife. This year we were lucky enough to see elk, marmots, bighorn sheep and the best of all, a beautiful mama bear with two cubs. Adz, mom and I were thrilled to bits.

Giveaway! Falcon Enamelware Review + Chocolate Pots De Creme with Himalayan Pink Salt

 

Giveaway Closed! 

We have a winner. Congratulations commenter number 48, Minna. You have won my set of Falcon Enamelware mini-tumblers. I have emailed you for your details, please respond as soon as possible. Enjoy! 

Thank you so much to everyone who commented. Keep an eye out, I have a few more giveaways coming up this December for you to enter, and hopefully win. You guys are wonderful!

I am a sorry excuse for a food blogger. Other than a rather impressive collection of motley props, I don't really have very many useful gadgets. I'll be honest. I am gadget girl. I love gadgets of all kind, the electronic versions, the photographic ones, the computers, the phones... but kitchen gadgets? Erm, not so many. 

I don't have the de rigueur stand mixer, no food processor, no coffee machine (does the French press count?), I am babysitting a pizza stone (and yes, I do have to give it back) and my oven is ancient. I am lucky my mom made me carry back her mixer-grinder back from India, so at least I don't need to find a spice blender, and my parents-in-law gave me their (really) old, silly powerful blender that I use for everything.

So as you can see, I am a 'tried and trusted' kind of person, rather than go for the new and fancy kind (and if I want new and fancy, I just wait for my friend Diane to get her gadgets first, because eventually they will get passed down, cough, cough, nudge!!)

And this is why I want to tell you about a few of the best and hardest working kitchen sets I own. Which are - my classic prep set, my beautiful red baking set and my adorably cute mini tumblers from Falcon Enamelware.
