Picnic

Picnic food should be easy to pack, hold up in the heat, and taste just as good sitting on a blanket as it does at the kitchen table. Bonus points if it doesn’t leak, wilt or require cutlery that you forgot to bring. This collection is full of make-ahead favourites that travel well and actually get eaten – no soggy lettuce or squashed sandwiches here.

We’ve got Zucchini Slice, which somehow works for breakfast, lunch, snack time and road trips, The BEST Chicken Sandwich Filling, which lives up to the hype and turns even basic bread into something special and Homemade Sausage Rolls freeze beautifully and thaw like a dream. Bang Bang Chicken Salad has a creamy sweet chilli dressing that makes people ask for the recipe, and Creamy Pesto Pasta Salad is just the right mix of comforting and fresh.

Whether you’re headed to the park, the beach or your own backyard, these recipes are here to help you pack smarter – and snack better.
