Our Kitchen
The cookware that we carry in our bus is likely quite a bit more than many other modern nomads, but if you can find the space for all of it, you can make every meal that you will find on this website. We have champagne tastes on a buslife budget, and with the equipment listed below, you can produce some truly epic grub without breaking the bank.
Some items are more specialized and not as frequently used, but this is what we carry, and I do use every piece of it. Depending on how much you like to cook, you can omit some items, particularly some things in the doodads section, but this is a pretty good kitchen setup, and will allow you to cook some truly incredible meals on the road. I hope this guide helps you fill out your kitchen!
