Picnics: And Other Outdoor Feasts by Claudia Roden
This revised and expanded edition offers a celebration of the tradition of preparing and savouring meals in the open. It reveals a world of simply prepared and delicious foods and aims to stimulate the imagination with tales from far and near. It offers the conventional and the exotic: from the street food of the Middle East and Mediterranean, the festivals of the high plains of Mexico to the English traditions Glyndebourne and shooting-lunches on the moors.
