GF COOKERY TEAM'S BARNEY
Olive, cherry tomato & feta focaccia
I spend a lot of time in west Wales, where there are some breathtaking spots to picnic, but they all involve much more of a hike than carrying a basket or cool box will allow. My solution is this recipe - it's homemade and far more special than a bag of crisps with a sandwich, but still transportable enough to be wrapped tightly and slipped into a rucksack. Packed with all the main ingredients from a Greek salad, it's a meal in itself, but you can dress it up on location with some sliced ham, charcuterie or a pot of your favourite dip.

Masala potato puffs & jal jeera (spiced lemonade)
These recipes are a taste of the flavours of my childhood. Born and raised in India, we'd pick up puffs like these from our local bakery for family outings. I love how effortless they are, but they still pack in so much flavour. They can be totally made ahead and they're easy to pack, making them perfect for a picnic. No al fresco eating occasion would be complete without jal jeera, either a popular nonalcoholic summer drink in India. It's refreshing and simple to put together. The sweet and tangy flavours pair extremely well with pretty much anything and everything. Krati Agarwal, Netherlands
Olive, cherry tomato & feta focaccia
You can make this without the olives, tomatoes and feta for a very reliable plain focaccia - great for making a big muffuletta-style sandwich to take to a picnic.
