3 seasonal autumn recipes for your van hire

Autumn is a great time to hire a van! Whether on the road or on your plate, its colours enchant us. And when it's time for a meal, our taste buds are not left out! Autumn is synonymous with cosiness and the kitchen area of your van hire will allow you to concoct comforting dishes as you would at home (with the added bonus of the view!), which will perfect and complete the atmosphere so typical of this season!

Here are 3 "special autumn" recipes, ideal for making in a campervan: quick, easy and colourful.

3 perfect autumn recipes to cook in a van rentalRecipe 1: Pan-fried Carrots, Chestnuts and Sweet Potatoes with Thyme

WeVan tip: for more comfort, consider opening the pop-up roof of your campervan and standing up! It's much more convenient to have access to everything and to cook standing up in your rental van, don't you think?

Recipe 2: Autumn omelette with mushrooms

Ingredients for 2 persons :

• 4 eggs
• 2 handfuls of mushrooms (button mushrooms, chanterelles, ceps, etc.)
• 1 onion
• A little chive and/or parsley 2 knobs of butter
• salt and pepper

Preparation :

• Clean the mushrooms and cut them into large pieces.

• Pour them into the pan and cook to taste.

WeVan tip: Here are 2 applications to help you pick mushrooms. Champignouf and its advanced visual recognition technology, and Déclic Champi, a real mycological encyclopedia to take with you everywhere. Although these two applications provide you with the best possible information, it is up to you to be discerning when you are in the field. If in doubt, don't!
