Get picnic ready with Lexus and Emily Roux With lockdown restrictions easing and warmer, sunnier days ahead, we asked Emily Roux, chef at the Caractère restaurant in London’s Notting Hill, for her advice on how to enjoy the perfect picnic. “Delivering an impressive and enjoyable picnic is about more than just taste,” says Emily. “Here are some helpful tips on how to prepare and present the best outdoor feast.”
Leave the leaves Avoid packing beautiful green salads as they tend to wilt during transit. Items such as the sturdy pork pie will be sure to reach the picnic in one piece.
Be realistic Plan carefully and realistically how much food you’re likely eat. You don’t want to take lots of food home and waste any leftovers.
Take your (tooth)pick For breaded items such as bagels, slice them in half and use toothpicks to hold them together during the journey. This removes the need for taking a knife and chopping board with you.
Free(ze) up space for the journey home Freeze small bottles of water or juice and place them in your cool bag instead of chiller blocks. This avoids having to carry the blocks home with you.
Grease is the word Use baking parchment instead of cling film to wrap the bagels. Cling film tends to make sandwiches soggy, whereas baking parchment keeps moisture at bay. Step away from the cookie jar Bakes such as cookies will keep for four to five days in an airtight container so you can make them in advance. If you don’t trust your willpower, perhaps hide the container until picnic day. Be prepared – it is the UK, after all Even if you look outside on the morning of your picnic and think you’ve woken up in Greece, always pack an umbrella
regardless. This can double up as a parasol if the weather does hold out. Chairing is caring Cushions or even camping chairs add large loads to be packed in the car, but they’re worth it if you know you won’t be comfortable sat on a blanket on the grass. If this is your first picnic of the year, don’t underestimate the time it takes to find the chairs and clean them up ready for use. Pick the right spot When you arrive at your chosen picnic location, be sure to choose somewhere with a view that you’re happy to look at for the rest of the day. Settle any doubts of “is the grass greener over there?” Finally, clean up after yourself Pack items that can be disposed of, and when you’ve finished your picnic, put them in a bin or recycling point; otherwise, pack reusable Make sure to head items and take them to lexus.co.uk home with you. There for delicious recipe is still a problem with inspiration from the litter in the UK, so make Lexus Takumi sure you don’t add to Ambassadors the mess.
