Summer hasn’t really started until you’ve gone for a picnic. Sure, you could pick up some sandwiches or fried chicken on the way, but where’s the fun in that? Instead, here’s five fresh ideas to help while the day away. And because good food shouldn’t cause a panic, almost everything can be made ahead of time leaving little to do on picnic day. Happy summerin’, friends!





Cracker for a Crowd

The bigger the cracker, the more fun to be had. A conversation starter and first bite rolled into one.

Fermented Ginger Beer

You don’t need a PhD in fermentation to make your own fizzy soda. There’s really nothing to it—in truth, it’s harder to fail at it than succeed. Make sure to plan ahead! It’s minutes of work, but can take up to 11 days until ready to drink.

Sweet, Savoury Sausage Roll & Pineapple Slaw

These chums were made for each other. The tart, refreshing slaw is a perfect match for the pastry-wrapped sausage roll. Make the roll a day ahead—it’s meant to be eaten chilled or at room temp.
