Northumbria University graduate Amelia Cook has taken home the PriestmanGoode award at this year's New Designers showcase for developing a food container that allows hikers to preserve and eat home-cooked meals in the wild.
The Savour kit enables food to be cooked, dehydrated, transported and served in one dish, offering an alternative to the limited selection of pre-packaged meals typically available to outdoor enthusiasts.

"Savour transforms outdoor dining from a basic necessity to a gourmet experience," explained Cook, who completed the project as part of her undergraduate degree in product design.
"It allows users to enjoy delicious, home-prepared meals in the wilderness, combining the joy of a great meal with the beauty of nature." The pan is designed to be placed on the accompanying dehydrator
Users can prepare their desired meal at home using Savour's metal tray, which is then sealed with a lid and placed onto the accompanying dehydrator to remove the moisture and preserve the food for up to three months.
On the trail, the food can be transported in the same pan and reheated on a camping stove with a splash of water to regain its original texture and flavour.
The Savour kit also includes portable tableware inspired by restaurant plates, allowing the meal to be served in a way that is both convenient and appetising.
