Winner, IACP Cookbook Award

A picnic is a great escape from our day-to-day and a chance to turn a meal into something more festive and memorable. The Picnic shares everything you need to plan an effortless outdoor get-together: no-fail recipes, helpful checklists, and expert advice. With variations on everyone’s favorite deviled eggs, 99 uses for a Mason jar (think cocktail shaker, firefly catcher, or cookie jar), rules for scoring lawn games, and refreshing drinks to mix up in crowd-friendly batches, let The Picnic take the stress out of your next party and leave only the fun.

  • “Smart new ideas include salads on a stick and a dozen kinds of deviled eggs.”
    —Food Wine
     
    The Picnic is a gorgeously illustrated cookbook and a treasure trove of inspiration. In addition to its whimsically adorned recipes, there are instructions for solving picnic crises and tips on food presentation.”
    —Entertainment Weekly
     
    “Terrific. . . . Picnic basket essentials to make everything easy.”
    —Portland Oregonian

    The Picnic will turn you into a sort of MacGyver of picnics.”
    —Eater Portland

    “Ridiculously pretty . . . this book is your guide to getting food from your kitchen to the great outdoors.”
    —Epicurious
     
    “A lovely, hand-illustrated cookbook which covers the ABCs of picnicking. It’s full of useful tips.”
    —Design*Sponge

    “The only picnic guide you’ll ever need.”
    —Food Network DISH

    “Charming. . . . Perusing these colorfully illustrated pages, readers will learn how to select an appropriate site, cope with inclement weather, transport unwieldy or temperature-sensitive foods, and assemble a ‘glorious’ charcuterie board. The authors’ classy recipes for appetizers, salads, drinks, and more (e.g. kale panzanella with burnt lemon Caesar dressing, smoky tea-brined fried chicken, vanilla bean shortcakes with strawberries in basil syrup) all include thoughtful instructions for storage and serving. A fresh look at outdoor entertaining that’s just in time for spring and summer. Highly recommended.”
