I met Will from The Nomad’s Kitchen at a caravanning show way back in 2019, and I immediately knew that he was onto a winner.  Fast forward to last month when he kindly sent me a couple of samples for review, and I can only agree with my initial thoughts.

Kitchen

The original Nomad Kitchen comes in rubberised case that measures 13cm x 19cm, and once opened contains pretty much all the herbs, spices and accessories you need to make a wholesome meal.

On one side you have a metal folding spork, a small jar of cooking oil, permanent marker, a lighter and a 7 piece utility knife. On the other side, covered by a handy chopping board, you will find eight Tic-Tac-style containers filled with the most popular and versatile herbs and spices that have been carefully selected by Will to enhance the flavour of any dish.

There are 2 large containers (2.5cm x 10cm) for salt and black pepper, and 6 smaller ones (2.5cm x 5cm), for cumin, chilli flakes, curry powder, garlic granules, paprika & mixed herbs

For shipping purposes, the spices come in sealed sachets for freshness, and all you need to do is fill the containers when you need them. That said, if there are spices contained in the pack that you will never use, you can fill them up with your favourites instead.

So whether you're cooking over an open fire at camp, in a camper van or even at home, this kit has everything you need to add bold and delicious flavours to your meals.  And with the containers being refillable and re-usable, it also ticks the eco-friendly box, too.

Pocket Kitchen

The other product Will sent me to try is his portable cutlery kit that again comes in slim, hard-proof case with carabiner.  On the inside it includes a knife, fork and teaspoon, as well as a straw, all made of durable, lightweight materials that are easy to clean and maintain.   On the other side you will find salt, pepper, and sugar, all contained in the same   Tic-Tac style containers.

The compact size of the kit allows for easy storage and transport, making it perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy a delicious meal wherever they go. The kit is eco-friendly and reusable, making it a great alternative to disposable utensils.

The Pocket Kitchen isn’t just ideal for camping and hiking trips, but perfect for work lunches, too.
