Provençal picnic squares and goat’s cheese loaf: Dorie

Savoury bakes for a garden party, barbecue or picnic, to eat with your fingers or with one hand holding a fork

I love picnic food: that you can eat with your fingers or cut with the side of a fork. Easy food that you pass around, that’s good on its own or with a simple salad (and wine – picnics need wine). This summer, I’m saving room in my basket for a colourful tomato quick bread that hints at sunny Nice, and a creamy courgette and goat’s cheese loaf that teeters between custard and cake. And if we’re rained out, we can always bring it indoors for a chic little lunch.
