Johanna from The Passionate Cook is hosting this edition of “Waiter, There’s something in my…” and the something is picnic food.
It’s not quite picnic weather here - you’d need a waterproof blanket and several large umbrellas to even begin to attempt it but you can always get into the spirit of things.
When making picnic food you don’t want anything too fussy or time consuming and as I’ve decided to make small savoury tarts, rather than going the home-made pastry route, Filo (or Phyllo) pastry makes a handy substitute.
The filling has been kept simple - a mix of leek, new season asparagus and this lovely local Goat Feta
Now let me just say, soup is the best ever invent-something-and-pray-it-turns-out things, along with stew. But I do have to say, Straight From The Farm inspired the base stuff for a good soup.
Before I declare this soup a work of sheer brilliance, it didn't necessarily go down amazingly well with Clare and Pip. Clare thought this might be because of the stock we used (which was vege), so you could try using chicken stock, but I thought it was delish.
