OMG I really meant recommendations for cooking EQUIPMENT, you know, pots, pans, cups, knives, forks and spoons along with an actual cooker. OMG you are so stupid and god only knows how you can be this stupid with just one head"

Oh got you now, err you need an oven.
 
Be careful not to take stuff you really don't need it's very easy to get carried away, on my first trip I dumped a load of stuff within a few weeks including the only tent I ever owned.

As for eating I just had a set of mess tins one for making tea or coffee the other for heating food I used to eat and drink out of the mess tins no plates or cups and just a spoon.

I would mostly buy a chunk of cheese and a loaf of bread or a tin of ravioli or beans with sausages easy fast stuff, occasionally use a cafe type place or street food stalls in the towns, very cheap.

This looks good nice and compact MalloMe Camping Cookware Mess Kit, Camping Cooking Set 10 Pcs - Camping Pans and Pots Set for Travel Backpacking Portable Camping Essentials Equipment & Accessories, Camp Pot for Food & Kitchen : Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors

Try not to spend to much on equipment if it gets pinched or ruined you will be gutted, as I said before buy cheapish and change often.
You've got me thinking now about one more trip maybe drive down to Athens when it cools down a bit.
 
For cooking I use a Trangia spirit stove, as used by the Swiss army, slightly bulkier and old tec than some but the interlocking kit itself is 2 bowls, stand and a plate, runs on meths and doesn't blow out in windy or cold conditions, it's also fast, you can cook pretty much anything within reason that you could heat up on a cooker at home.

For serious survival situations where weight and bulk are not an option, porridge/dried milk/brown sugar stored dry in a tub will give you the maximum calories, superfood + protein and suger per weight that you can get, just add water from the nearest safe river and boil, add sliced banana or whatever.

a Jetboil is a space saving equivalent, gas, fast, dried soup, noodles, pretty much anything you can hydrate by boiling will keep you alive and stored dry takes up very little space, this is your backup when far off grid, for the most part I imagine you will be passing plenty of supermarkets and shops, Europe is particularly blessed with deli's and cafe's.

good tips here, yes I will be close to shops and cafes so the jetboil for morning coffee sounds good

Just ordered that set from Amazon, 19.99 absolute bargain.

If it's compatible with your stove, both Trangia and Jetboil come with integrated pots, I'd start with the stove first.

found it, it is also swedish and I am going to Sweden on my trip, might be worth buying it over there as I imagine it will be cheaper
