Author Suzy Ashford's book La Picnic has me thinking about outdoor dining and warm weather in spite of this cold spell. The self-taught chef and food writer reimagines outdoor lunching in this brilliant little book. Rather than an unexciting sandwich or a flask of tea, why not pack a bacon-and-leek quiche or cherry-tomato tartlets for your next outing? And there is no need to wait for summer; these recipes are perfect for the dinner table too. 

Tomorrow I will share with you Suzy’s recipe for Witlof, Blue Cheese & Pear Salad.
