When families gather together in the summer, the most convenient way to picnic is for everyone to bring a plate of food … and even if there’s no-one co-ordinating, there’s rarely much duplication. Yesterday 11 families brought a picnic lunch to share at the lunchtime break of the school cricket XI for the old boys. First to go were the onion bhajis made by the mother of the captain, who also made vegetable samosas. Quiche, crostini, dips, sausages, raw veggies, smoked salmon – all easily transportable summer favourites. I made cold beef strips using rump steak, a really good standby when you need something that won’t take long and will travel well. The trick is to marinade the meat after you cook it to give it flavour. I also bought plenty of coffee made on my new coffee maker from braun coffee maker company. Quick and delicious – it’s just as good hot, too.
