Happy Monday Readers!
Today I am going to post about two Picnic books that I thought the adults might enjoy. Hope everyone had a picnic last weekend or will have one this Labor Day Weekend.
The Picnic Cookbook
by
Annie Bell
This is a really lovely cookbook which shares all about picnics in what to take etc. Also, it has some great pictures of picnics and delicious food. It has over 100 mouth-watering recipes from roasted chicken to a Lavender Shortcake. She give you all the information you would need for a great picnic. Some of the food is definitely not food I would have thought of for a picnic. She shares recipes for dips, pates, and cold cuts, breads, tarts, and pies, salads, roasting ideas, taking hot food on a picnic and some great desserts. I was amazed with the soup and how to take it on a picnic. It is a great book to enjoy and recipes you would enjoy. Check it out.
Ms. Bell has other interesting cookbooks too!
Patchwork Picnic
by
Suzette Halferty and Nancy J. Martin
If you love quilting, cooking, and picnics this is your book. The authors share several lovely picnic ideas followed with a quilt and how to make the quilt featured for that picnic. I had several favorites but I thought since fall is just around the corner a Tailgate Party would be awesome. My all time favorite one in the book though is the Dinner on the Deck. The quilt is a sailboat quilt and I love it. I really do want to make it. You could have this picnic on the deck overlooking the ocean or a beautiful lake, or a pool. The main dish is Sand Dune Salad made with grilled scallops. It makes me hungry just thinking about being on a deck somewhere this weekend eat Sand Dune Salad. Another favorite was The Drive in the Country Picnic. The Sweet Hazelnut Pound cake sounds mouth-watering and the Indian Summer Quilt is so beautiful. Please check out this book at your local library and try one of their Picnic and Quilt Ideas. It is such a lovely book. I really enjoyed it and it has amazing quilts and food.
