Chef Secrets for Cooking in a Small Camper

December 29, 2025

What does a professionally trained chef really cook in a small camper kitchen?


In this episode of the Girl Camper Podcast, I’m joined by Allana Bykes, a professionally trained chef and nuCamp T@B 320 owner, to talk about how she makes real, flavorful meals while camping in a small space.

Allana shares the kitchen gear she relies on, the pantry staples she always keeps stocked, and how she thinks differently about cooking in a compact camper kitchen. We also walk through just how easy it is to make dirty rice at camp, using simple ingredients and minimal cleanup.

Whether you’re new to camping, cooking in a small camper, or just looking for smarter ways to make meals on the road, this episode is packed with practical tips and inspiration from someone who truly knows her way around a kitchen—big or small.
