 Just as we can rashly group people into Food People and Not Food People, there are people who Follow Recipes and those who Do Not Follow Recipes. If you are going to cook and eat in challenging circumstances (while camping, or on a public holiday) you will find it very difficult to Follow Recipes: inevitably you may realise that you couldn't actually find mayonnaise in tubes in Australia and so neglected to pack mayonnaise at all. The use of a single camping stove would mean that no, you can't pre-heat the stock to add to your risotto and gods forbid, the lack of refrigeration will mean that you won't be able to deglaze your pan with white wine, but instead will have to resort to using red wine from a bag. Just as we can rashly group people into Food People and Not Food People, there are people who Follow Recipes and those who Do Not Follow Recipes.

-A Resilient Aristologist((Aristology is the art or science of cooking and dining. It encompasses the preparation, combination, and presentation of dishes and the manner in which these dishes are integrated into a meal. (Wikipedia, 2013))) (i.e. a Food Person who Does Not Follow Recipes) will happily improvise and present a grated carrot and cabbage salad with a lemon and olive oil dressing instead of the creamy coleslaw that "normal" life could have provided. The risotto is not restaurant quality, but is instead tinged pink from the red wine, flecked green and orange by dried parsley and given flavour by dried onions, mushrooms and garlicky salami before being finished with tinned ghee and powdered parmesan.+A Resilient Aristologist((Aristology is the art or science of cooking and dining.

 In harder times a Resilient Aristologist would know how to gather roots and roast them to make ersatz coffee, and would hunt out patches of nettles and other wild greens while considering the best way to trap and prepare a street pigeon. In harder times a Resilient Aristologist would know how to gather roots and roast them to make ersatz coffee, and would hunt out patches of nettles and other wild greens while considering the best way to trap and prepare a street pigeon.
