Karen Wright, 65, was on The Great British Bake Off in 2018.
However, she’s been going on camping holidays for more than 40 years, first going with her family when she was a child.
Since then, she has honed her cooking skills when on the go, with her caravan having a full set up with four gas hobs, a grill and an oven.
Despite this, there is one way to cook that she doesn’t advise.
Karen told Sun Online Travel: “Don’t try and use an oven when wanting to cook meals – the heat of it will make your caravan too hot.
“And when you’re in a hot country, it’s just too much.”
Her love of cooking while travelling inspired her upcoming book Meals on the Move which she wrote during a one-month trip around Europe with the Caravan and Motorhome Club.
The recipes in her new cookbook are all under 30 minutes and only use a hob.
Not only that, but Karen also says she also packs a gas BBQ even if she has cooking facilities inside.
She said: “I would always take a very small gas BBQ.
“Mine is tiny – it fits into a small bag – and it’s perfect for 2 people.
“I like to cook outside and use a gas BBQ as it means I can cook outside quickly.”
Using this method, she says she has made things such as a “cheats pizza” using a tortilla wrap on the hob, as well as mushroom bourguignon.
Karen added: “I only use one or two pans for each meal – I didn’t use fancy things like air fryers as I want all my recipes to suit everyone.”
Here are some of Karen’s other camping tips when it comes to cooking on the go.
