As for food I think its a matter if personal choice as to what food you like, but I would be more than happy to swap food ideas with you.

As for cooking gear...well I'll gradually list (by editing this post every so often as I won't be able to remember it all at once)what I carry as standard on any camping trip, and I know some of it is pretty obvious, but I'll still include at anyway

We carry a couple of boxes with stuff in

Box 1 contains eating stuff

ie 4 plates, 4 platters, 4 small bowls, 4 larger bowls, my colander (purely because it fits here better than the other box) a small stainless bowl, 2 stubby coolers, 2 beer glasses, 2 coffee mugs
These days its mostly the 2 of us that go camping and the grown up kids stay at home to go to work etc but I still keep the 4 of everything because I can

Box 2 contains the cooking stuff
2 billies
billy teapot
an icecream container with 2 glasses in it
tea towels
dish cloth
dish washing detergent
clothes line and pegs
a bar of sunlight soap
liquid laundry detergent
a container containing kitchen utensils
ie 2 knives, forks, dessert spoons, teaspoons
veg peeler
large and small sharp knives
ladel
wooden spoon
egg lifter
Barbie Mate
nail brush for scrubbing vegies
egg cups
egg rings
measuring cups
can opener
Tongs

We also take a stove of course, a frying pan, 1 or 2 camp ovens (with trivets and baking tin that fit inside the largest for baking bread), a BBQ plate, Fire spike (see Bushies pic further down, his is exactly the same as ours or vice versa, our BBQ plate has short legs but we are toying with doing the star picket bit also)
NM

you say Sunlight Soap , is it because it's bio-degradable ?
