Mark made a small campfire and we hooked it all up ready to brown off some sausages for a little stew. I must say it was lovely to be sitting al fresco listening to the oven sizzling away – more relaxing than a BBQ somehow. I love one pot cooking, and the Dutch oven seems the ultimate ‘one pot’! This is an 8 litre one, and can cook for up to 11 or 12 people, so plenty big enough for a good feast around the campfire

After about an hour of cooking, our stew was ready, and it was delicious. Can’t wait to try out more recipes, so we can share them with our yurt guests!

The full “mini-site” is here – http://www.guardian.co.uk/visit-south-west and our mention is on this page – http://www.guardian.co.uk/visit-south-west/ten-green-breaks-in-somerset

Well worth a browse if you’re looking for a green holiday in the UK!
