Does this sound familiar? You’re staying at the vacation rental of your dreams, and you’re all set to show off your culinary greatness to friends and loved ones when you realize that the kitchen is seriously lacking in essentials. What could have been a delicious three-course meal turns into a heated-up frozen burrito and lackluster veggies. One option is to bring key items and equipment with you.
But how do you choose wisely so you don't pile up the car? I asked my social media followers (aka some of the best home cooks and professional chefs I know) for their suggestions. (Alternatively, you could take the approach of Stephanie Gutierrez-Rivas, of What’s That You’re Cookin? who bucks the trend by taking precisely “nothing!!!! We go out to eat! It’s called vacation, Gab. LOL.
") And if you’re already too frazzled with planning and packing to read the recommendations closely — well, we’ve turned them all into a nicely organized checklist for you. File it under "we've thought of everything". To make your life easier, we've compiled a few responses to create this downloadable PDF form you can use as your checklist for your next vacation stay.
Stock up on soda, water, yogurt, salt, pepper, ancho chili and garlic.” - Brian Hidalgo, Whittier.
