Haus Kuk Weekends

For five weekends we have to make all our own meals in a haus kuk(outdoor kitchen) that we have made. We were provided with the materials and showed how to make one. Then we were to make our own, either coping the demo or try something different. Here is a picture of the sample haus kuk.

 

Next we started making our own. Below is a series of pictures depicting my roommate, Crystal and I making our haus kuk. In order to make it, our main tools were a bush knife(machete), ax and twine. 

 

We are provided with cooking supplies for the weekends and they come in the boxes below. 

 

These are also were we can store some of our food that we buy for the weekends. We have a store on site where we are able to get staples like those pictures below. We also get eggs and powdered milk from the kitchen. There is also a small market just up the road where we can get fresh produce each weekend.

 

Things we can't get there like seasonings we were able to get on a shopping trip into town where we where also able to go to the produce market to get fresh fruit and vegetables.

Some of the things we have made so far are French Toast, Tortilla chips, Mexican Stew, Mac & Cheese, and Sloppy Lentils. 

 

We have to cook everything over a fire that we have to make our self. 

There are somethings that we need to keep cold over the weekend and sometimes through out the week. Below is what you would call a bush fridge.

We have three weekends left of haus kuk and I'm excited to see how they go.
