Picnic Ideas

    Suitible for vegetarians!

    A good base recipe, mix and match flavours to your taste.

    Suitable for vegetarians!

    Cous cous is so versatile and will lend itself to any flavour. I use jars of roasted red peppers for convinence, there just as good as roasting your own.

    Suitible for vegetarians!

    My really tasty cold bean salad! This is a version of a dish which I saw demonstrated by Rick Stein! Very tasty!

    Scotch Egg ~ Serves 4 ~ Cost £2.50

    To finish, serve with a nice dollop of salad cream! For an ultra crisp coating, give them 5 minutes in a deep fat fryer, followed by 10 minutes in the oven. However, if you don’t have a fryer to hand, this recipe is a good alternative.

    Coleslaw ~ Serves 4 ~ Cost £1.50

    Suitible for vegetarians!

    Who hasn’t had coleslaw?! Look at Hint’s and Tip’s for some interesting variations on this classic!

    Suitible for vegetarians!

    Pickled eggs: you either love them or hate them! The addition of beetroot makes for something different! Great with a slab of cheese and crusty bread!

    Potato Salad ~ makes 8 portions ~ Cost £2

      Suitible for vegetarians!

    My version of good old potato salad:  I add spring onions and mustard to give it a lift but it’s up to you!

    Mustard Sausage Roll ~ serves 8 ~ Cost £2

    No picnic would be complete without the humble sausage roll! I have added a little wholegrain mustard to these but you could add your own flavouring for a personal touch.

    Suitable for Vegetarians!

    Don’t be put off by the fact this soup is chilled. It makes a wonderful addition to any picnic and is refreshing on a hot summer's day!



    Cherry Tomato Bruschetta ~ cost £2

    Suitable for Vegetarians!

    An Italian inspired sandwich served open. Make the mix and put in a container but keep the bread separate until you serve or it will go soggy. You have been warned!
