Guide Review - Good Day for a Picnic, Simple Food that Travels Well by Jeremy JacksonIn this latest tribute to a food idea, Jeremy Jackson maintains his passion for cooking and eating. The first two books were of a more narrow scope, the first being cornbread and the second desserts. This time he bites off the much larger concept of picnics. Picnics are more than a single course or ingredient. Rather, they are a state of mind where one prepares food that requires little fuss and bother, travels well and, of course, is eaten outside. Jackson sets the stage by giving us a little history of the picnic, tips for the essentials worth packing and a variety of ideas for locale. He offers recipes for starters, beverages, salads, lots of hearty main course dishes, and several choice tidbits for desserts. Every recipe has a story and many come with transport and serving tips. Finally, don't let yourself be limited by the word "picnic" in the title. These recipes will work great for potlucks, beach parties, church suppers and any time you need to bring along a dish or two.
