P-p-pick up a picnic
It will be warm and sunny weather this week, it will, it will, it will. And we're so darn sure of it we've compiled our best picnic for you.
We're all for al fresco eating at delicious. From tarts to terrines, sausage rolls to Scotch eggs – when you try these moreish picnic recipes you won't even notice if the sun is shining.
Food is so darn lovely in all its forms isn't it. Which is why most of us don't mind the odd, stray blade of grass in our five-spice coleslaw, sand in our beef and horseradish wraps or an ant in our beer.
The best thing about food that's made to be eaten outdoors, however, is that not only does it conjure up childhood memories (see Tom Norrington-Davies' nostalgic dishes on the menu scroll on the
homepage) but if the heavens do open, there's nothing wrong with laying down a rug in the living room and conducting your picnic from there.
And it doesn't matter how easy it is to pop to Tesco and buy the lot – when a picnic is homemade, you can taste the love, and that makes a warm, bright day even more glorious in our book.
A rather old-fashioned rice salad recipe
Back in the day, a picnic wasn't a picnic without a rice salad. This was inspired by the reprint of the classic Italian cookbook, The
Silver Spoon, published by Phaidon. Don’t let the odd mix of ingredients put you off –
there is method in the madness.
Asparagus and ricotta tarts recipe
These definitely look as if they are at the top end of picnic fare so
you will be shocked at how mind-bogglingly easy they are to prepare,
especially if you buy the pastry.
Curried Scotch eggs recipe
This is a million miles away from the rubbery commercial versions. The
key to enjoying a Scotch egg lies in leaving the yolk creamy rather
than totally hard boiled.
Dips and sticks recipe
This dips and sticks recipe is proof that healthy snacks are just as tasty as unhealthy ones! Perfect for a family picnic.
Ginger loaf cake recipeYou can't have a picnic without cake and this should appeal to even the fullest of diners.
Old-fashioned ginger beer recipe
This is a quick recipe for traditional ginger beer – the perfect drink
for a picnic in the sun. Just make sure you make lashings and lashings of it.
Pork and pistachio terrine
recipe
Buy pork belly or shoulder mince and thinly sliced bacon from your butcher for a divine terrine.
Sausage rolls recipe
Name an omnivore who doesn't like sausage rolls? And making homemade versions is going to mightily impress your family and friends.
Simple potato salad recipe
Potato salads are quick to
make, easy to transport and (we think) best served cold on a warm day.
Smoked salmon, cream cheese & cucumber picnic loaf
By making one big loaf instead of lots of fiddly sandwiches saves you time and
looks impressive. If yuo can't find a cholla loaf, use a small bloomer with a soft
crust.
