Book Description
Picnics can be formal affairs with fine china or impromptu spreads with bread, cheese, and wine; either way, they make occasions such as the Fourth of July, Mother’s Day, or an anniversary more memorable. In FESTIVE PICNICS, we’ve packed more than 30 recipes such as Cold Avocado and Cucumber Soup, Hummus and Pickled Onion Sandwich Wraps, and Banana Cake with Blueberry Sauce, with craft and decorating ideas perfect for an outing with friends or a beach day with the kids. And as appealing as the recipes are, it’ll be the craft ideas—Picnic Sand Pails, Picnic Party Fans, Rice Paper Candle Holders—that make you dust off the picnic basket and plan your next meal outside.
