In this programme, Mairi gathers recipe ideas for food that's perfect for when you're on the go - from picnic food to lunchbox staples. Skilled home-cooks show Mairi recipes for cakes that are perfect for transporting and how a French classic, duck a l'orange, can be adapted for a picnic.
Living in Uist and with a family of her own Mairi is constantly travelling to and from the mainland with hungry mouths to feed whilst on the road. Homemade lunchboxes ensure her and the family are getting something fresh and nutritious as they travel rather than depending on shop-bought sandwiches. Her homemade scotch eggs and pork pies do just the trick.
