Top camping meals on a Cadac Safari Chef 2

For those people that are unaware, the Cadac is a versatile and flexible outdoor cooking system that connects to our external LPG BBQ point on our VW campervan. It would be far too easy to describe the Cadac as a gas BBQ, it is so much more than that. You can of course BBQ on the Cadac, but you can also use it as a hot plate, a normal outdoor gas hob and a pizza oven as well.

What you get in the box

We are on our second Cadac in just over 4 years of heavy use, so we have amassed a range of cooking accessory options. The basic system consists of the base burner station which connects to the LPG supply via a quick connect flexible hose. On top of that fits the windbreak section. Once this basic setup is in place, you have a range of options depending on how you want to cook. We have a standard griddle, a solid hot plate and a rather useful 50/50 griddle and hotplate option which is really useful at breakfast time for grilling meat and cooking eggs at the same time. There is also a BBQ lid for low and slow cooking Webber style- this also doubles as a large pan for flexible usage. In addition to this basic set-up, we also purchase a pizza stone which we have come to love and are using more and more often.

We always cook with the base unit on the floor as we like to sit around it as we cook, but you can pop it on top of a table for a more domestic cooking setup.

Our favourite Cadac creations

Philly cheese steak sandwiches

Set up the Cadac with the hotplate configuration and preheat. Finely slice an onion and green pepper into thin strips. Add a little olive oil to the hotplate and fry off the onion and pepper mix. Thinly slice a beef steak- it does not need to be an expensive cut, as cheap cuts are often best as long as you slice it finely. Season the meat heavily with salt and pepper or your favourite BBQ mix. Once the onion and pepper mix is fried off, move to one side on the hotplate. Add a touch more oil to the hotplate and fry off the beef strips, turning regularly. Once the beef is cooked, mix the onions and peppers into the beef and continue to turn regularly. Add your chosen bread to warm over the top of the steak mix- we like to use flatbreads for a burrito style sandwich. Take the bread off the heat when warmed and add the cheese to the bread- the cheaper the cheese slices the better for that authentic flavour! Add the steak mix on top of the cheese and complete your sandwich.

Pizza on the Cadac

This could not be easier. Unfortunately the pizza stone did not come with any instructions for use, and it would be quite easy to damage it if you used it incorrectly. If you add direct heat to the stone via the burner there is a risk of it fracturing. We add the pizza stone to the hotplate as the hotplate has a built in heat diffuser which protects the stone and makes for a more even cooking surface. Heat up the stone on a high heat for a good 10 minutes, with the Cadac lid on. When the stone is heated, simply add your pizza to the stone and recover. Set a timer for 8 minutes and wait- do not be tempted to peek as that will lose heat from the cooking process. We use simple supermarket pizzas rather than preparing our own- it makes a quick, easy and cheap meal. After 8 minutes the pizza should be cooked perfectly with a crisp base and gooey, melted topping. Be warned, the Cadac will not brown the topping like a domestic oven at home, as the lid naturally lets some of the cooking heat disappear, but the end product is absolutely delicious.

Paella/jambalaya

Purists will argue that what I describe below is not a true paella/jambalaya…and I would agree- but it is a hearty outdoor dish that can be easily adapted to your own tastes and requirements.

Set up the Cadac as an outdoor hob, with the windbreak and pan stand in position. Warm a pan and add a glug of olive oil. Add some finely chopped chorizo to the pan and gently fry to release its lovely paprika rich oil. Add small chunks of chicken breast to brown in the rich, flavoursome oil. Once the chicken is browned, add a chopped pepper and more sliced of chorizo and continue to fry. After about 5 minutes, add a handful of paella rice to the pan and stir until the rice grains are coated in the cooking oil. Add enough chicken stock to cover the contents of the pan and bring to a vigorous boil. Once everything is bubbling away, turn down the heat to as low as possible and cook slowly until all the stock has been adsorbed by the rice. This will take about 20 mins. If the mix dries out and the rice is not fully cooked, add more stock as required. Once the rice is cooked, we love to let it crisp on the bottom of the pan (without burning!), just enough to give it a tasty extra texture.

Spanish Omelet/tortilla

We love this dish at home- it is so versatile as a main meal with salad or as a tasty picnic accompaniment that travels well. Set up the Cadac as an outdoor hob, with the windbreak and pan stand in position. You will need to use a good non-stick frying pan for this dish as it does tend to stick on anything less than fully non-stick!

Add the pan to the heat and add a good glug of olive oil and a pack of smoked pancetta lardons to the pan. Allow the lardons time to release their lovely bacon fat into the pan whilst you finely slice an onion. Once the lardons are browned, turn down the heat and add the onions. Try not to brown the onions too much, slowly cooking them until they are soft and translucent. Slice your pre-cooked new potatoes into slices that are about a pound coin thickness. Once the onions are soft, add the potatoes to the pan and continue to stir the potato, onion, bacon mix. Beat 4 to 6 eggs in a bowl- this depends on how big your pan is- you need enough beaten egg to cover the potato mix. Add the beaten egg to the pan an stir continuously. You will see the egg scramble as it hits the bottom of the pan. By stirring you will feel like you are just making a mess, but the magic has yet to come! When about half the egg mixture has solidified, gently pat down the mixture into the pan, turn down the heat as low as possible and continue to cook without stirring. The omelet will start to cook from the base upwards, with the top remaining rather uncooked. After about 5 mins, place a plate over the top of the pan and flip out the partly cooked omelet onto the plate. Return the omelet back into the pan (wet side down) to cook for a further 5 mins. The top will now be the cooked side as the underside continues to cook. Once cooked fully through, slide the finished omelet onto a plate to slice and serve.

Lamb kebabs with roasted vegetable couscous and tzatziki.

We just wanted to illustrate to you in this section how versatile the Cadac is when looking to cook a simple BBQ. We based this meal around lamb kebabs that you can find in most supermarkets. Of course you can create them yourselves using lamb mince, spices, pine nuts and herbs, but when you are rushed for time, and short on budget, it is often easier to let the supermarkets do the hard work. One common side dish that we love to make is a char-grilled vegetable moroccan couscous. This sounds fancier than it is, but it is a great and easy accompaniment to any grilled meat.

Take any veg of your choice from corn, peppers, courgette, asparagus, chillis and onions and cut them into sections that con be char-grilled on the Cadac. Pre-heat the BBQ to hot and then add the veg. Allow the veg to char before turning, but make sure that it doesn’t burn through. Once the veg is thoroughly charred, take it off the heat, and whilst the meat is grilling, roughly chop the veg. Add the veg to a ready prepared moroccan couscous mic that is available from most supermarkets. These ready prepped packs are cheap and only need water adding for a few minutes to come to life. By adding the freshly grilled veg it just adds to the flavour and makes you look like a culinary genius. Once the meat is cooked, serve on a bed of the couscous with a drizzle of tzatziki.

Keeper of the Kitchen

In the kitchen with little time, little money and little people

Camp Cooking, Picnics And More With The Cadac Safari Chef 2

There are two Cadac Safari Chef 2’s. One is LP – low pressure- and one is HP – high pressure. The LP version requires a regulator and hose, but can then be attached to a number of different gas bottle options, from the large refillable ones – which works out the best, cost wise – to the smaller single use ones. I tend to keep a small one in the bag, and a backup one in my camping kit, because an extra heavy item to lug around isn’t much fun. One canister normally lasts me about 5 or 6 meals, depending on what you’re making, adding about £1 to the price of the meal. A price I’m happy to pay to not have to find room in the car for a large canister. That said, if I knew we were in one spot for a week or two, I’d probably opt for the large one.

With the HP you only have the option of the screw in canisters which screw directly into the bbq.

I opted for the LP, and to save some money ended up buying a separate hose to go with my existing regulator, but when it arrived I realised my regulator had different markings than those that are supplied with the Safari Chef 2, and the local camping shops couldn’t tell me if it would be okay to use, so I ended up going back to the online shop and just buying the set as is! If you’re not very clued up on these things, I’d suggest the same – I have three regulators now and they all differ in shape and fitting and it’s important to make sure you have the right thing since you’re working with gas and fire.

Why the Safari Chef 2?

What does the Safari Chef 2 come with?

You can also use the flat griddle instead of the BBQ grate – this is perfect for things like eggs, pancakes, and fajitas.

The lid can be placed on to conserve the heat, but the lid is itself a cooking surface – turn it around and you have a fantastic deep pan in which you can cook… anything you like! We used it this week for a vegetable medley and I thought adding some chicken to it would have made a super easy one pot meal, which would leave you with just one dish to clean.

In addition to these you can also buy a separate paella pan and a pizza stone! I expect you could fit the pizza stone in the Safari Chef 2 bag as there is a bit of room in it, though I’d have to try the paella pan (don’t own this one yet!) and let you know if that fits too.

Favourite things about the Safari Chef 2?

• It’s lightweight and self contained. It fits in behind the passenger seat under my daughters feet without being a burden on space in a tiny car.
• It is super easy to put together and get dinner going. We’ve used it on the beach, a picnic in the park and camping. While not advised, I’d imagine, we also used it in the tent a few times as there were gale force winds outside and cooking – in fact standing up straight – was near impossible.  There’s no mess, no flames jumping around and no sparks flying.
• I love that we can eat as we would at home. Healthy meals with practically no huge effort and no extra dishes.
• I LOVE that it’s reduced the number of cooking pots and bits that I have to carry around in the camping kit. We take a bowl for mixing/stirring/combining (thought at a push we could use the lid) and the rest is all done on the Safari Chef 2.

Anything I’d change about the Safari Chef 2?

A way of lifting a hot griddle or grill would be really useful – I use the bbq tongs and just flick it off when I need to switch between plates (i.e. when you’ve friend the onions and now want to grill the patties) but it’s not the end of the world. Where the tongs flick isn’t appropriate, you  can just BBQ the patties on the griddle. Not the end of the world. A clip on handle would be useful though. Or I suppose you could buy decent fire gloves.

And just in the interest of transparency, I do also still use my pocket gas stove as no one should ever have to wait for dinner to finish before being able to boil the kettle!

What can you cook on the Safari Chef 2?

So far, excluding regular BBQ food, we’ve done:

• Fruit Skewers with healthy chocolate sauce
• Sausages and sweet corn (for hotdogs)
• Scrambled egg and bacon
• Cheese filled herb tortilla wraps
• Hamburgers (with fried onion)
• Flapjacks/Crumpets/Pancakes (depends on what you call them!)

Cadac safari chef 2 review – our new camping stove.

This post may contain affiliate links. If you make a purchase through one of these links, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

I heard people rave about their Cadac camping stoves. They seem to have a big range, so anyone can find something suitable for their needs. I reached out to the company to see if they were open to collaborating with me. They kindly sent me their Cadac Safari Chef 2 to review.

This is a sponsored post, but all opinion is my own.

Why choose Cadac?

Cadac has won several international awards over the years for its product quality and innovation. Whether you are a couple or a big family, Cadac has something for you. They offer a wide range of outdoor cooking and heating products.

Our experience with the Cadac Safari Chef 2

Up until now, we were quite lazy with our camping meals. We would just boil some water and eat an expedition meal from a packet. Very quick and lightweight option without having to do any washing up. Great for wild camping or if you rely on public transport.

However, we now have a car and have the space for some more luxurious items. We decided to go car camping on my birthday to the Peak District and Live The Braai Life. I must say, I was very proud of the dishes we cooked on the barbecue during these 4 days. We kept all the meat in a camping fridge and had some really nice meals. It was nice to slow down from our usual hectic itinerary to cook some nice meals, enjoy the surrounding views and spend some quality time together.

The camping stove is super easy to use. It’s quick to set up and pack away. The Safari Chef 2 has folding legs that allow you to stand it on the floor or on a table. It also comes with a carrier bag, which makes it easy to tuck into your car!

The best thing about this stove is that it can multipurpose. The unit comes with a ceramic BBQ Grill Plate and Flat Plate. It also has an enamelled Dome Lid which doubles as a pot for cooking and a removable pot stand for use with your own kettle and pans So you can boil a kettle on it, fry or bbq food. It also works as a pizza oven with the pizza stone accessory. The camping stove runs from disposable gas cartridges that screw directly to the unit, meaning no need for regulators and bulky cylinders.

I had no issue cleaning the plates, even after the fatty meat. I just used warm soapy water. But some parts are also dishwasher safe.

What we cooked:

Sausages with asparagus and potatoes English breakfast (bacon, eggs and baked beans) Kofta kebabs and corn on the hob Pizza and garlic bread

Who is the Cadac Safari Chef 2 for?

• Good size cooking surface for two people, but it is probably too small for a family
• People who do car camping, or I can imagine taking it on a canoe trip as well. But probably not suitable for backpacking trips, as you want to keep weight and size down.

All in all we are very happy with our new camping stove. We will take it on all our car camping trips and we can’t wait to try out new recipes with it.

Khabarovsk, Russia

Tours, Attractions and Things To Do in Khabarovsk

Khabarovsk travel guide.

• 1. Architecture
• 2. Attractions
• 3. Cultural life
• 4. Souvenirs

Khabarovsk, Russia fascinates visitors with its unusual heritage and fabulous untouched nature. Tourists are drawn to the native culture, eclectic architecture and mesmerizing waters in this off-the-beaten-track destination, which promises a unique and memorable vacation.

As the center of Russia’s far eastern region of Khabarovsk Krai, the city offers celebrations throughout the year which are sure to give added flair to your trip, from traditional culture days to large-scale food fests. It is easy to keep a full itinerary during your stay thanks to its many theaters, museums, restaurants, workshops and quest rooms. Guests who want a more relaxed holiday can venture into the serenity of Khabarovsk nature, including the coast of the Sea of Japan or one of the region’s many picturesque lakes .

Khabarovsk Architecture

Khabarovsk architecture surprises with its harmonious blending of varying types and styles. This is due in large part to major changes which the city underwent in the mid-19th-early 20th centuries in conjunction with developments in the political, economic, scientific and technical spheres. The search for new trends in architecture came after the death of the classicism style, which had dominated the Russian Empire and the wider world for centuries. Beginning in the mid-19th century, the practice of mixing eclectic architectural styles began to emerge, leading to an era of amazing stylistic improvisations.

During the final decades of Romanov reign, many educational institutions for architects and engineers were opened. As a result, the face of numerous Russian cities began to change rapidly. Art Nouveau - a new, modern trend that absorbed several preceding styles – had come to dominate the architectural scene.

Many Art Nouveau buildings can still be seen in central Khabarovsk. These include:

• Takeuchi apartment building (5 Muravyov-Amursky Street)
• Esplanade Hotel (18 Muravyov-Amursky Street)
• Luhta apartment building (84 Komsomolskaya Street)
• Zandau apartment building (34 Muravyov-Amursky Street)

Khabarovsk also has many Gothic buildings, a style distinguished by its elegance and attention to detail. Every element of Gothic architecture emphasize a vertical orientation, as seen in the massive walls and columns, round arches and wide windows which contrast with narrow towers, pointed peaks and lancet windows.

Khabarovsk’s Gothic architecture is best represented by the artillery warehouse buildings located at 16 Komsomolskaya Street. Another notable example is the Red Guard Headquarters (105 Komsomolskaya Street), which has been preserved in its original form. The complex consists of two identical two-story brick buildings with unusual motifs containing pseudo-gothic elements.

Also of note is the early 20th-century Treasury Building, a luxurious red brick structure with openwork balconies that exudes an architectural grace.

Khabarovsk also has many Soviet-era buildings which were mostly designed in the constructivism style. Characterized by their enormous size and grotesque shapes, they often occupy most of the block and dominate the surrounding space.

During your Khabarovsk excursion, be sure to appreciate its unique architectural heritage by going for a walk downtown .

Khabarovsk Attractions

The layout of Khabarovsk is very simple: its 3 main streets of Lenin, Muravyov-Amursky and Seryshev pass through the downtown area, while Ussuriysky and Amur Boulevards run perpendicular to them. A distinctive feature of Khabarovsk are its many hills, so we recommend wearing comfortable shoes for your walk.

Begin your walking tour of Khabarovsk from the train station, where you can see the monument to Yerofey Khabarov, the famous explorer for whom the city is named. Nearby is a sculpture of a double-headed eagle, erected in memory of soldiers, officers and builders of the Far Eastern Railway. Moving from the station along Amur Boulevard you will reach the central market, just past which is Lenin Square. A spacious area with a granite fountain in the center, it is the main plaza of Khabarovsk and the site of the city’s Christmas and New Year celebrations. Next to the square is Dynamo Park, famous for its three ponds and Ferris wheel.

From Lenin Square, move along Muravyov-Amursky Street to reach Amur Embankment, passing most of Khabarovsk’s famous 19th-20th century buildings along the way. Descend to the embankment via two grand staircases or make a small detour onto Shevchenko Street, where you can follow the slope until you reach the embankment’s main stretch. Among other things, the area is home to the House of Officers and three museums.

As you move along the embankment through a park you will come across the city symbol of Khabarovsk, a building set on a steep cliff above the Amur River. It was at the foot of this cliff that the founders of a military post, the first semblance of civilization in the area, first landed.

After reaching the river and walking along Ussuriysky Boulevard to Turgenev Street, turn right to reach Glory Square. Here you will find another famous Khabarovsk landmark, Transfiguration Cathedral, along with a magnificent view of the Amur River and its dreamy islands. Glory Square concludes the main walking route of Khabarovsk, but from here you can reach any part of the city by public transport or taxi .

Khabarovsk Cultural Life

Khabarovsk entertainment centers around its many theaters and museums. Visit Khabarovsk Museum of Local Lore to get a better glimpse of city and regional life. Children and adults alike will want to visit Fishes of Amur River Museum, an aquarium which is home to some 90 species of the underwater world. To catch the vibe of local artists, head to the Far Eastern Art Museum.

There are several theaters in Khabarovsk, each of which is worth visiting:

• Khabarovsk Regional Puppet Theater;
• Triad Pantomime Theater;
• Khabarovsk Regional Philharmonic;
• White Theater, and others.

In addition, Khabarovsk offers several concert halls, culture houses, cinemas and art institutions .

Khabarovsk Souvenirs

While the city’s souvenir selection is not as diverse as in other Russian cities, guests can still find something suited to their tastes on their tour to Khabarovsk. Amur River and the Sea of Japan offer an abundance of seafood that can be tasted on the spot or brought home in dried or smoked form. Yet it is the rich culture of the local indigenous peoples which provides the largest selection of national souvenirs.

If you’re looking for an original gift, traditional Nanai slippers are comfortable and warm. Sewn from leather or fabric and decorated in a bright, colorful style before being trimmed with fur, they make the perfect house shoes in winter. Traditional decorations include amulets which are made from animal bones, fur or fabrics and decorated with ribbons and colored beads.

Standard souvenirs like plates, magnets, mugs and flasks stamped with images of Khabarovsk or its coat of arms can be purchased in souvenir shops, which are mostly located downtown and at the airport and railway station.

Khabarovsk: A Mediterranean Dream in Russia

Sparkling new cathedrals that blend in with fine 19th century architecture, a thriving cultural scene, and the proximity of the Taiga make this city on the great Amur River one of the most diverse in Russia.

With traces of some of the great cities of the Baltic Coast, you’d easily be mistaken for thinking you are 8000 kilometres away from the Russian Far East, but just 30 kilometres separate Khabarovsk from Manchurian China. There is, however, no hint of Asia in this city of 620,000, the last major stop on the Siberian railroad before Vladivostok.

Founded in 1858, everything from its broad tree-lined avenues, pre-Soviet heritage buildings, trams, quaint cafes, squares with fountains and a buzzing riverside, is redolent of Europe.

The city has a laidback Mediterranean feel in the summer, with sun-bathers thronging the riverside beaches to work on their tans. While summers are even hotter and more humid than those in Mumbai, temperatures plunge sharply in the winters and average around minus 30 degrees Celsius. If you like, you can take long walks on the frozen Amur river.

Famous for its ornate fountains, the city’s Lenin Square attracts hordes of skaters, local artists and families in the evenings. In the winters, the square hosts ice sculpture festivals and one of the largest New Year trees in the region.

Khabarovsk is just the perfect city you can explore through leisurely walking. Another relaxed way to savour life in the city is to take its trams, which connect the city centre to many outlying areas.

While walking through the Muravyova-Amurskovo Street, you encounter fine brick buildings from the 19th century as well as pre-Russian Civil War architecture that has been painfully preserved by the proud administration of the city.

The city literally breathes history. The Muravyova-Amurskovo Street, for example, has five museums. The regional history museum is probably the best in the Russian Far East and showcases the culture of the indigenous people of the region, besides an excellent section dedicated to the Russian Civil War. The brick building was built in 1894 and lived to tell the tale of the brutal war between the Reds and the Whites.

While the city is proud of its Soviet past, with several monuments dedicated to the USSR and the partisans, who fought against foreign armies, there has also been a religious renaissance in Khabarovsk. Viktor Ishaev, a former governor, played a large role in the reconstruction of Russian Orthodox Churches, destroyed during Stalin’s purges. The imposing Uspenya Bozhey Matery (Divine Mother of God) Cathedral is one such replica and is just above the riverfront.  The city is home to the largest Orthodox Church in the Russian Far East: the golden-domed Church of the Transfiguration, which is probably the most visible building one sees from the aircraft, while landing in the city.

A stone’s throw away from the Transfiguration church is the majestic World War II memorial. It stands as a testament to the patriotism of the citizens of the Russian Far East, who lost their lives in the war against Nazi Germany, thousands of kilometres away from their hometown.

Most of the city’s attractions are close to the riverside, including a central park that stretches for about 1.5 kilometres to a hill top from where you get the best views of the city. The city owes its existence to Count Nicholai Muravyov-Amurskiy, and there’s a large statue of the founder, who was the governor general of Eastern Siberia. The area around the statue is a favourite spot for couples and when it comes to romantic settings, very few places in the country can match the sight of an autumn full moon over the Amur River, reflecting on the golden domes of a nearby cathedral.

The riverside is buzzing with activity, and has several cafes and restaurants with live rock bands performing late into the night.  There are also several hydrofoil services for those that want to cruise the Amur. A 90-minute cruise is a wonderful way to observe the illuminated riverside architecture at night, but there are longer cruises north to the cities of Komsomolsk-na-Amure and Nikolayevsk-na-Amure. These cruises are a great way to explore some of the most stunning and sparsely populated areas in all of Russia.

The Great Outdoors

No trip to Khabarovsk is complete without a picnic in the forests near the city. Many residents of the city have summer cottages or ‘dachas’ in an area called Voronezh-1, an ideal place for a barbeque, beer and folk music. There are several forest trails in the area, which is strikingly beautiful in the autumn.

However, those seeking adventure head straight for Peak Heksir, which is only about 970 metres above sea level but is a difficult trek through thick forests. The great Ussuriskaya Taiga begins in this forest, which is home to the Amur Tigers, the largest tigers in the world. The tigers have the advantage of camouflage in the autumn, but can be spotted in the winter, when blankets of snow envelop the mountain range. The forests are also inhabited by the Amur leopards, who are incredibly difficult to spot.

The path to Heksir offers splendid views of Khabarovsk and the domes of the city’s cathedrals are visible from the peak. But the piece de resistance of Heksir is the view of the Russia-China border.  The last stretch of Russian territory is at the intersection of the Amur and the Ussuri rivers. All you can see of China is a stretch of forests and there aren’t any human settlements for miles from the border.  Special permissions need to be arranged for both Russians and foreigners to climb the peak, since it’s in a politically sensitive area.

Shantar Archipelago.   Source: RIA Novosti

Khabarovsk is also close to the isolated Shantar Archipelago, a string of islands, which are only accessible in the non-winter months. This group of 15 islands in the Sea of Okhotsk are famous for their rocky cliffs and spruce forests. The archipelago is a wildlife lover’s paradise in the summer. You can spot Bearded Seals, Bowhead Whales and the endangered Western Grey Whales. Bears are aplenty in the islands, but unfortunately, each summer, there are reports of campers getting killed by bears. Wildlife experts attribute many of these cases to reckless behaviour on the part of tourists from cities. The islands are accessible by helicopter from Khabarovsk as well as via fishing trawlers that make the most of the four months a year they have before the ice flows merge the archipelago with the mainland.
