Vanlife Camping & easy Gourmet Cooking in the heart of the Champagne region 🇫🇷🍾
In this episode, I drive through the rolling vineyards of Champagne, France, before cooking a simple but luxurious dish on the Cobb BBQ – Champagne beurre blanc with endives. This is campervan cooking at its best: minimal equipment, incredible local ingredients, and a dish inspired entirely by the place we’re in.
Cooking with Champagne might sound indulgent, but this recipe keeps things simple and honest. The beurre blanc sauce is rich, sharp, and perfectly balanced, paired with lightly caramelised endives for a proper French countryside meal you can cook anywhere – even in a van.
This is what ChefCampers is all about – food-led campervan cooking adventures across Europe, finding inspiration from the regions we travel through and turning it into something you can cook yourself on the road.
If you enjoy van life, outdoor cooking, and simple gourmet recipes, you’re in the right place.

We've had terrible weather on our European trip so far and have not had much chance to cook outdoors.😢
