Hikers Cook Garlic Naan, Risotto, Cheesecake And More On Trail. Foodies Love The Idea
Those going on a hiking trip have many fun things to look forward to. Some enjoy the time spent in nature away from the grind of daily life. Some enjoy the spectacular views they come across on the trail. Some enjoy it as a dynamic workout. Some simply enjoy being in the company of their fellow hikers. However, a particular trio of friends recently decided to elevate their hiking experience in a whole other way - by incorporating a cooking competition into it! They seem like a true bunch of foodies, don't they? Hiking enthusiast Bec Cliffe took to Instagram to document a part of their experience.
She posted a short clip giving a glimpse of the many delights prepared by the two friends who accompanied her on the trail. We also got a sneak peek at the surrounding view they enjoyed as they dug into their delicious feast. In the caption, it was revealed that they made numerous sweet and savoury treats, including garlic naan and dal, cheesecake, pancakes, mushroom risotto, rhubarb and apple crumble, and French toast croissants. Moreover, they also carried along a 4-kilo cast iron pan to cook some of the dishes. Bec also said they decided to undertake this cooking feat during "the hardest hike in Victoria."

In another video, Bec humorously explained how she managed to relish "the most elite hiking food." Her 'recipe' for success? She explained: "Step 1: Find friends who can actually cook; Step 2: Drag them hiking; Step 3: Announce a "friendly" cooking competition; Step 4: Document their creations while contributing absolutely nothing."
