Cooking in a vacation rental kitchen can be a unique and liberating experience, forcing individuals to adapt to unfamiliar utensils and ingredients. Gathering groceries may present challenges, but there is enjoyment in spontaneity. Rather than sticking to perfection, embracing a scrappy approach leads to creative meals. Packing essential items like a sharp knife, cutting board, and favorite pantry staples can facilitate easier cooking. Recipes can be crafted using whatever is available, such as cherry tomatoes, canned artichokes, and more, allowing for spontaneous and satisfying meals during the vacation.
There's a weird pleasure in pulling together a meal in a sparse, funky rental-house kitchen. It's like a reality cooking show challenge.
During rental home vacations, it's kind of fun to be untethered from the normal cooking routine. I'm relinquishing notions of perfection in favor of scrappiness.
Picked up a whole lot of cherry tomatoes at a farmstand? You're making cherry tomato antipasti salad with some canned artichoke hearts, olives, onions and a quick vinaigrette.
Before you go, consider packing a minimalist 'kitchen survival kit.' It doesn't have to be much: A sharp knife, a cutting board, salt and pepper.
