As any emergency scenario is taxing to the body and mind, making nutritious, well-balanced, warm meals becomes even more important. The coronavirus pandemic revealed to many that having strategic cooking plans can be essential to managing daily life under stress. But when an even more sudden disaster occurs, such as an earthquake, how does one cook with limited water and electricity?
