Chive, olive and ricotta palmiers

A perfect snack to prepare in advance. You can keep them in your freezer until the day of the picnic, then simply slice and bake. Folding palmiers is simpler than it might seem, but you don't have to bother with folding - you can simply roll the dough into a snail shape instead and it will be just as delicious.
A decent blanket, plenty of napkins, good libations and, most of all, a bountiful selection of delicious homemade things make for the best picnic. Planning to eat outdoors can be a fool's errand with the uncertain weather in this country, so make sure that all the elements you can control are as good as they can be. And if you do get the sunny day you were praying for, won't you be glad you have a good spread to celebrate it with? These picnic-ready recipes are from Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich, co-founders of the Honey & Co restaurants and delis in London, known for their delicious, Middle Eastern-inspired food.
