WHAT'S IN YOUR PICNIC BASKET?
Cruising Connecticut recipes were chosen based on their versatility, great taste, ease of preparation and ingredients. The final test was how transportable each recipe is, based on the accessibility of the picnic facilities.

Several recipes were contributed from chefs and other area professionals. The remaining recipes came from my own picnic recipe collection or from the files of relatives and friends; in some cases they were created especially for Cruising Connecticut.

All recipes—from beverages, breads, finger foods, and sides, to sandwiches, soup, salads, entrees and desserts, are accompanied by additional menu items designed for each distinctive picnic. What recipes do you have???

TIME TO PICNIC

TIME TO PICNIC

The Picnic – Cruising Connecticut provides all the information needed to plan the perfect picnic—the occasion or activity, and the available facilities. For example, is there a picnic table or lawn to spread out on, or will we be balancing food on our laps while sitting on a bench? Are there charcoal grills for cooking? Will we be picnicking from a backpack or a tailgate? All this information is helpful in order to determine how long and how comfortable our picnic may be, and, perhaps even more important, what we will pack in our picnic basket.
