Description
Mums only want the best for their families. But Kirianna Poole didn’t find that in a big house in the middle of suburbia. Instead, she’s spent five years travelling with her husband and three kids in their vintage Kombi.
Life travels slowly in an old campervan, and for Kirianna, that means lots of time to dream up simple, hearty food that’s perfect for cooking while camping. Schooled in her Dad’s restaurants and inspired by a slow-paced life, she knows that good food is the foundation of awesome family adventures.
From the small burner in her van or a campfire at camp, Kirianna’s simple, delicious and wholesome recipes are perfect for families who want to eat better outdoors. Forget two-minute noodles; The Slow Road Cookbook is filled with the meals she grew up with in a Māori family in New Zealand, flavours she’s savoured around the world, and camping classics born in the Aussie bush. With over 80 recipes, and chapters covering meat, chicken, seafood, desserts, breakfasts, and even some sneaky cocktails, you’ll never lack for choice.
With a baby strapped to her chest and two barefooted kids exploring around her, this is food for families who crave a slower life, more connection with people, the land, and, just as importantly, themselves.

Have cooked a number of dishes now from this book – absolutely amazing! Love Kirianna’s little stories throughout, and her helpful hints for cooking over fire.
Everyone must try the raw fish – 10/10!

Received the book a few days ago and tried out the mussels! Exceptional! Cooked for 10 of us in the pizza oven at the beach, everyone was astounded at my new found capabilities in the kitchen! Highly recommend this book, as it’s recipes are easy to folllow, ingredients are generally what I have in my garden or cupboards. Great way to entertain friends if you want to impress! Definitely my go to recipe book now!

This book is a delight to the senses it is visually beautiful , the recipes and pictures make your mouth water, it makes you want to explore different life options yet can be all cooked at home. It is environmentally aware with a tree planted for each book as well as being thoughtful on food wastage and reutilising what you have. It is the perfect Christmas present.

Just received my copy of this book from the pre order I did. Absolutely blown away by the quality and photographs. So many useful guides as well from all about how to build and cook on a fire to information on what gear to carry. This is such a great book for anyone travelling Australia and has so many great recipes in it. We tried the Coconut Habanero Fish last night and it was absolutely unreal!
