As the days get longer, we daydream about lounging outside with a glass of something chilled and tucking into a plate of fresh ingredients. Take inspiration from the Scandi way of life – as they are starved of daylight for much of the year, when summer arrives, they make the most of it.
Time spent outdoors, foraging in the forests, fishing in the clear, cold waters, and using the best-quality ingredients to make tasty meals, mean they relish the chance to eat al fresco. Gen up on the food traditions at Brontë Aurell’s website, scandikitchen.co.uk, where you can also shop for Scandinavian specialities. Then, create a smorgasbord of goodies and enjoy a picnic in the sunshine, Scandi-style.
