Loosing our Food Traditions
Many times when we think about cookbook creation for family recipes, we think of the big traditions around holidays and celebrations. Sometimes it is the small things that we always did but do no more...As I was leafing through this months Bon Appetit I came across something that shouted out to me, The Summer Picnic is being lost!
If you read it, I am sure you were thinking some thoughts about summers long ago when the family piled into the car with food packed away in the trunk to be opened when you got to that special place. The question posed to the ba foodist read, "My fondest childhood memories are of the family outings when my mom would make a large picnic lunch and we would pack up the car and go for a drive. I would like to continue that traditon with my family. What dishes can you recommend for a picnic/?
I am so glad the Jenny is planning to keep the tradition of summer picnics in her family. But I was amazed that Andrew answered that he too enjoyed picnics in his youth. I thought he might think he was too cool for such summer frolic but he has decided to go on a one man campaign to bring back the fine art of the picnics. He said it perfectly, "It connects you to with nature, friends, family and food, and,- most important-it helps you relax." If you are looking for recipes or what to take out to your own family picnic he asked for people to visit his blog at bonappetit.com/go/bafoodist
Such a simple tradition could be lost because we just are too busy doing stuff...so sad...schedule family time this summer and go on a picnic and have some fun.
