Ration Challenge - The Ingredients and what you can cook with them

Ration Challenge pack

You should be able to cook most of these on a gas hob/camping stove. An oven helps with a few items (baked stuff). A good quality food processor or smoothie maker or stick blender helps for grinding things, although you could use a pestle and mortar and muscle power for grinding stuff...

Remember: The idea is to mirror the Refugee experience as closely as possible in terms of food. We do have the advantage of mod cons, although some people have tried doing without those.
