About Picnic: 125 Recipes With 29 Seasonal Menus
From Booklist Drawing on her New England upbringing, Stovel presents a host of foods that make ideal fare for a Picnic. In addtion to expected recipes for cucumber sandwiches, peach ice cream, and chocolate cake, Stovel has corn pudding, grilled salmon or tuna, and several home-baked breads.
