Book description
Packing up a picnic hamper, throwing a rug in the car boot and
savouring an outdoor feast is a time-honoured tradition that never
fails to excite and delight. For adults the word picnic evokes warm
childhood memories and the enjoyment of simple pleasures, and for
children its suggestion of fun and treats brightens up the dullest of
days.
In this beautifully illustrated book, passionate picnicker Mark
Price celebrates, and offers inspiration for, this great British
institution - in all its guises. He provides seasonal recipes for all
manner of drinks and picnic fare - from quick and easy sandwiches and
soups, to more elaborate pies and cakes - whatever the time of year,
whatever the weather and however much time you have to prepare. He
also offers:
tips on how best to transport certain foods
what equipment you'll need when you arrive
a comprehensive guide to 20 top British picnic sites, including a
map of the site, how to find the perfect picnic spot and a list of
local producers for a 'cheat's' picnic
Mark Price is the Managing Director of Waitrose. A self-confessed
