Our last ss was an urban picnic in the park - an ode to the end of summer. Our guest chef was the incredibly talented Camille Becerra.
Camille's menu was the perfect picnic in our eyes... we started off with Watermelon Aqua Fresca Cocktails and served:
Meat Pies
chicken, baby carrots & nigella
Frittatta
rice, baby zucchini & feta with fennel pollen yogurt
Burrata Salad
spicy cauliflower relish & crostini
Tomato & Cantalope Salad
mustard seed oil & lemon
Fennel Slaw
pickled red onion, raisin, hazelnuts & mint
After a class at our loft in williamsburg, we set up our picnic down on the waterfront with a great view of the bridges & city across the river.
We had a great time basking in the last days of sun. Below are a few photos from the day, and coming next will be recipes...class photos and more.

What a perfect way to spend a day - and bid farewell to summer. Your picnic setting is fantastic - it makes me long to produce a picnic story for a magazine, but sadly, they just keep folding! I'm inspired by the whole idea of Sunday Suppers. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteI love the look of the condensation and the lighting in your soda pics.
ReplyDeletelove love love, everything you did to make it so much more then a "picnic"
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to add: I've been waiting for the picnic photos to show up, and now that they have . . . they're GORGEOUS, of course. So much talent. It was a birthday present to me from my husband that we got to attend this class/picnic experience, and I have to say that A to Z, everything was handled with great style, warmth, professionalism, grace, beauty, and mmmm... deliciousness! The food was all great, and I am hanging on for dear life to the last little remnant of cauliflower relish that we took home as a souvenir--really, really great on boiled eggs! Recipes, please. The only one I remember is the one I helped work on: ginger plum crumble bars (unofficial name, I'm sure). Thanks for making the end of summer absolutely perfect. Hope to join Sunday Suppers again some time.
