I recently found a very old recipe book, published in 1944 and I was fascinated to read …
“When it is necessary to make sandwiches several hours before they are to be used,
they may be wrapped in paraffin paper, or slightly dampened cloth,
or placed in a stone jar”
How things have changed since then…
I somehow don’t fancy carting a stone jar to a picnic!

Top Tips...
Are your eggs fresh?
Check that the eggs are fresh enough to eat... I love free range, but sometimes we're not sure how old the eggs are… and there is nothing more off putting than a rotten egg! It's easy to leave an egg in the fridge too long also, so it's a good idea to do this anyway.
I like to check that they are fresh by popping them into a bowl of cold water before using.
If they feel light and immediately float… toss!
Boiling eggs...
As long as they are OK, eggs which are a few days old, are easier to peel than really fresh ones.
To boil eggs… place them in a saucepan with cold water to cover and bring to boil.
Simmer for 6-7 minutes, no longer, and then plunge them into icy cold water...
leave there for a few minutes and the shell comes off easily!
I find cracking on the end then along one side, helps the shell comes off too.
Boiled eggs can be kept for 4-5 days in the fridge.
Boil the eggs...
Curry powder is popular in egg sandwiches but I prefer this recipe. This delicious version is not one of the usual egg salad sandwich recipes.
After all, the girls eggs deserve a yummy sandwich!
