Aside from attending the picnic, you can also stock up on fresh produce from the markets while you’re there, and there’s heaps of food available at the event too.

If you’re going to bring your own picnic though, we’ve got a few tasty suggestions.

Here’s a picnic version of fish n chips, envisaged here as salmon sandwiches and little cups of potato salad. Cut the potato’s into long strips so they look like French fries.

Cheese, Crackers and Dip are easy to put together.   Choose a few really different cheeses, a soft Havarti, boldly flavoured cheddar and something unexpected, we love this dark coloured Norwegian Brunost that tastes like toffee.

Create a healthy salad of rocket, crumbled feta and walnuts.   Make a dressing of olive oil, vinegar and lemon juice.    Keep the dressing separate until you’re ready to eat.

Make a giant sandwich by cutting a sourdough loaf in half and then layering cold meat, roasted eggplant, sundried tomatoes, artichokes and cheese. Cut into thick wedges to eat.

Create salads in a jar by layering ingredients. Put the dressing first followed by grains, nuts and legumes, then add vegetables. Turn them out into a bowl for instant salad.
