Cooking while driving - Cookswell Jiko Sales and Mobile Demonstrations!

making sure its safe 

showing samples and giving directions to the new shop

After demonstrations its time to light the jiko. And we only used about 2 handfuls of charcoal!

cook the things that take the longest first and the shortest last and close all the doors to prevent hot ash escaping.

having forgotten the cutting board, a tree seedling box is used to carve up lunch, add tomatoes stuffed with coriander and avocados and onions as a tasty side.

Mmmmm......an excellent hot lunch on the road!
