For A Picnic In The Hamptons...Maybe... 1 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

I bought DeeDee's book mainly because of the price. I thought an inexpensive book on picnics: some good recipes and tips - forget it.
On my first inspection only one or two recipes interested me. Well, maybe I just wasn't hungry. I put the book away and tried again later. Nope, nothing here.
Most of the recipes, if not all, are for the wine and brie set picnicing in the Hamptons. If your picnic ideas include hummus with creamed cucumber dressing, garnished with figs that are stuffed with walnut and endive, this book is for you, otherwise look elsewhere.
I really think this book was put through a marketing survey and they felt they could only get the ten dollars for it if they were lucky.

Editorial Review:

Picnics are fun, casual, and somehow the food just tastes better in a beautiful outdoor setting.
In PICNIC, DeeDee Stovel offers 28 picnic event ideas with more than 125 recipes - packable repasts from an informal Berry Picking Picnic to an elegant Music Festival Picnic. Although PICNIC includes all of the traditional fare, the recipes for the soups, entr_es, salads, and desserts are all a cut above the ordinary.
And when lazy summer days turn chilly, enjoy a Sports Booster Picnic, a Fall Foliage in New England Picnic, and an AprAs-Ski Picnic. Wine and beer selections accompany each menu. Plus picnic lore, packing to go, the perfect picnic basket, rainy day alternatives, and much more. It's an all-American feast!

This book is more about the poems written, which were very sweet. I thought it was going to be more recipes. The photographs were beautiful and thoughtful.

Editorial Review:

Join authors Hilary Heminway and Alex Heminway as they share dozens of creative ways to take a meal outside, whether the sun is just coming up for the day or romantically dropping in the sky, in the heat of summer or during a winter's chill.

Editorial Review:

Nothing beats the pleasure of eating outdoors where sunshine and blue skies are guaranteed to bring the taste of summer to even the most basic food. The secret of a good picnic - great ingredients simply prepared - is revealed in this delightful collection. Want something fresh-tasting that is also easy to pack and transport? Try Zucchini, Feta, and Mint Salad. For a refreshing twist on an old favourite, try Bagels with Smoked Salmon and Wasabi Cream. Pepper 'n' Spice Chicken or Mini Pork and Apple Pies are perfect entrees, but don't forget the all important sweet treat: try Fudge Brownies or Pear Gingerbread.

Classy Ideas for Outdoor Dining 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

With summer at hand, what a wonderful way to celebrate the season than to have a picnic or barbecue. With Festive Picnics, you get more than just recipes, but also decorating ideas with theme events!

Pamela Sheldon Johns is the author of over 25 books, a former cooking school director and is currently a lecturer of food and wine in her Tuscan villa. With this experience, you can expect a classy book with delicious recipes.

Absolutely, beautifully photographed, this cookbook not only provides gourmet recipes for barbecues and picnics, but also decorating and entertaining ideas. This is a wonderful addition to her book, as so many books only provide the recipes, and here she shows you how to present them. All recipes and decorating ideas are easy to prepare and classy.

Some of the delicious recipes you can try are: Cold Avocado and Cucumber Soup, Hummus and Pickled Onion Sandwich Wraps, and Banana Cake with Blueberry Sauce. Then, Johns explains to use a beach pail for your beach party instead of a picnic basket! The idea is unique and a lot of fun for kids. Other craft ideas within this book are: Picnic Party Fans and Rice Paper Candle Holders.

If you are looking for an excellent book for outdoor entertaining, pick up a copy of Festive Picnics. It is a great addition to anyone's collection.

Editorial Review:
