Modernist picnic

John_Davies_66346

Each summer a group of my friends go to a local winery for a picnic lunch. It's our day of sharing new foods and new cooking techniques, as well as a general catch-up. In some ways it is a food competition but friendly.

This year I'm exploring different modernist techniques. But so many of them seem to end with "serve immediately".

So what should I be looking into to impress but not require a full kitchen on site. But I would not be at all against taking my iSi Whipper or other portable items.

There are several cold applications you could make.

Chicken served "sashimi"

Salmon cold

Custards and cheese cakes

I often make "sandwich" meat from cheapo roasts.

Veg is fantastic both warm and cold, that is easy to heat in a pan.

I had some thinly sliced chuck roast that I cooked sous vide on sunday night, I ate it cold on some bread with a piece of swiss and some mustard, if someone told me it was prime rib I wouldn't have doubted them. Cold chicken sliced like lunch meat is also good. I put some in a grilled cheese last week.

So the Salmon 104 on the ChefSteps website is a great dish for a picnic. Portions can be prepared well in advance and simply put together at a picnic. Link here: http://www.chefsteps.com/courses/accelerated-sous-vide-cooking-course/salmon-104-deg-f
