National Trust Book of Picnics by Jackie Gurney Although not kitchenalia, this book might appeal to collectors of such items as picnic baskets. The origins of the word 'picnic' are shrouded in mystery. Whether it was a British invention or not, it is certainly this island race which has taken the picnic to heart and developed it as a delightful form of social entertainment, despite the dificulties by the climate. Jackie Gurney begins by tracing the history of outdoor eating over the centuries, entertaining the reader with many anecdotes. She describes the relationship between the fair and the occasion, from the sophisticated gatherings at Ascot, Wimbledon and private shooting parties to the more humdrum event of an office worker's park bench lunch. The main part of the book is devoted to a collection of over 100 recipes, ith advice on preparing, presenting and packing your picnic. The book features every kind - varsity and family picnics, sporting picnics, children's picnics, moveable feasts and fetes champetres. There is even a special word of advice on the subject of lover's picnics. With ideas for dishes such as wim wam, rumfustian, hedgehogs, rhubarb and pernod crumble and prawns in aioli, your picnic basket need never be dull again. Hardcover in VERY GOOD condition, non authorial gift inscription to free end paper. | ![]() |
