Max's Picnic Book: An Ode to the Art of Eating Outdoors, From the Authors of Max's Sandwich Book

Description

Irreverent, eccentric, Max's Picnic Book is the follow up the Sunday Times Bestseller, Max's Sandwich Book. Both an ode to the art of eating outdoors, and an entertaining, frivolous reinvention of it, Max and Ben will first dissect picnic history, before creating 24 themed menus. Including ingenious hacks - think flavoured salts for dipping eggs and soft-serve with a shot of espresso - as well as twists on familiar favourites, this book about how and why we should picnic. Interpreting the ways in which we can eat outdoors through the eyes of their picnicking heroes, such as Hunter S Thompson, Fergus Henderson and Delia Smith, the reader will be left with a broadened perception of what a picnic truly is.

Max Halley is the name behind Max's Sandwich Shop in London. He regularly appears on Sunday Brunch, This Morning, BBC Radio Two and Vice and writes for The Guardian, The Sunday Times and Evening Standard.
