Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Cheerful and appealingly sized (just small enough that it could actually be taken on a picnic), this book by Deseran (Asian Vegetables) contains more than 45 recipes for picnic fare that go far beyond the standard sandwiches and potato salad. Not that there aren’t recipes for potato salad: there’s German-Style with Bacon and Mustard and Cajun. As for sandwiches, Roasted Pork with Fennel and Apple and Pan Bagnat with Tuna, Tomatoes and Olives will excite discriminating palates. Easy elegant entree offerings include Cold Slow-Roasted Salmon with Cucumber-Cumin Raita, and Grilled Shrimp, Zucchini and Tomato Skewers. Desserts such as Toasted Almond Bundt Cake with Raspberries and snazzy drinks like Mojitos and White Wine Sangria with Cherries provide a sweet touch. Color photographs by Jonelle Weaver make dishes like the Nectarine Tart jump off the page.

Product Description
This is sunshine and lazy afternoons in book form, updated for the way we eat now. Picnics serves forth fresh, flavorful, and portable recipes for today's casual to elegant outdoor entertaining. Picnickers can choose from more than 45 recipes for savory salads, sumptuous sandwiches, mouth-watering main dishes, and decadent desserts -- and whip up outdoor menus in no time, guided by easy-to-follow instructions and 24 inviting color photographs. Imagine: Open with tasty tidbits such as Crusty Focaccia with Rosemary or Curried Deviled Eggs. Let the serious feasting begin with Spicy Turkey Burgers or Grilled Beef Skewers (paired here with black pepper -- lime dipping sauce). Top it all off with a piece de resistance dessert such as Brown Sugar Blondies with Pecans or Moist Chocolate-Walnut Cake. At the park, at the beach, in the woods, or in the backyard garden, the gang will be back for more whenever the fabulous fare in Picnics is on the menu.

I think I only liked one of her recipes. The rest of them weren't original.
