Summer is the ultimate season for picnicking – whether it's a gathering with friends in the park; a relaxed brunch for two in the garden; a nighttime open air concert or an affordable lunch for a family day out. Picnic foods should of course always be colourful, tempting and delicious, but just as importantly, practical to transport, require minimum effort when unpacked; require as little as possible in the way of utensils and of course packaging waste and plastic use kept to a minimum.

The ideas in the book feature recipes for sharing boards, pasta, rice and grain salads just requiring a fork, chilled soups, bite-sized snacks and treats, and refreshing drinks to enjoy in the sunshine. Whether you are packing a cool box for the car, hopping on your bicycle with a basket, or hitting the beach with a full hamper, you'll find all the recipe inspiration you need in this perfect collection of summer recipes.
