Fun article! When I do the cooking vacation, I try to "spread out" the meals / ingredients
We tend to like comfort food, so I will get to our location and purchase a big valuepack of ground meat. Then when I cook it, it is used for spaghetti sauce, tacos, sloppy joes, laarb and/or nachos during the week. (Not all of them, but you get the idea)....
I do the same with chicken. Starts out as roasted, then during the week, it will be chicken tortillas or chicken salad, or grilled chicken over romaine.
When I do the cooking travel, I have never flown, so I do have the ability to bring / pack stuff from home.
I enjoy it, but requires advanced planning / thought. I like the way melissa approached it in her article; ie have fun and be creative.
edited based on my memory (or lack there of)!: we did cook travel to St. Lucia a few years ago. That was especially fun / challenging because I did not bring anything, and had to find a supermarket to figure out what to purchase etc pretty quickly! The supermarket was fun to peruse! They had a blender at our location! So, another market trip was req'd to make frozen drinks~! : )
