If you think you can not live with out bread and milk
UHT milk keeps,
milk will also keep in the freezer

Bread can be frozen

If you think the power will go off eat from the freezer before power goes off
when power off keep freezer shut

Tinned food generally does not need cooking
try cold baked beans with a bit of hot lime pickle

Use camping stoves
To save fuel - use a wide neck flask - pre heat with SMALL quantity of hot water
start to cook food when boiling well - tip out hot water from flask pour hot food into flask screw down top
I have cooked lentils like this in 6 hours
Don't forget men used to take their tea to work in a flask one boil stayed hot over half a day
