Published: May 5, 2017, 3:48 a.m.

Camp meals should be more than just hot dogs and granola. This episode we talk to long time motorcycle travellers, Lisa & Simon Thomas, about their new book Dirty Dining and Ara Gureghian, a five star chef who's been living off his motorcycle for over a decade. They give some valuable tips on camp cooking especially when space and supplies are limited. Lisa & Simon Thomas: Dirty Dining Simon and Lisa Thomas have been on the road for 14 years, travelling to many different countries and experiencing all kinds of cuisine. Inspired by world foods, Lisa has been conjuring up her own recipes, at times replicating the exotic flavours they\u2019ve tasted, and also coming up with their own recipes with just the right ingredients. They\u2019re about to launch a cookbook called \u201cDirty Dining - An Adventurer\u2019s Cookbook. In this book, they\u2019ve come up with a great mix of recipes, photography and tips for overland cooking. Dirty Dining will be available for pre-order soon through Barnes & Noble and on Amazon.
