Having Dinner In

One thing I really love about vacationing in a condo is the ability to make meals. But I have a love-hate relationship with condo cooking: I love spending a relaxing evening in the condo and not having to worry about getting ready to go out, but I hate cooking. Or rather, I hate preparing to cook. I’m just not good at meal planning. I’m never sure what to make or what to buy to make it.

This is where Brett/Robinson’s Condo Cooking 101 is especially useful. First of all, it provides tips on cooking in the condo, such as using recipes that are simple and low-stress, making meals ahead of time, and taking turns preparing meals with other vacationers in the condo. It also provides some recipes, everything from appetizers and drinks to main dishes and desserts (the crawfish chowder sounds really good).

The purpose of vacation is to relax—meal preparation should be no different.
