Hosting in a heatwave? These luxury Fortnum & Mason hampers do the hard work for you

F&M has a monopoly on the hamper game, for good reason - (Fortnum & Mason/The Standard)

Goodness knows that all manner of cooking/frying/grilling has been out of the question over the past few weeks. In fact, just about my whole kitchen is gathering cobwebs at this point. Fear not, though, for there is a delectable and fanciful solution; a solution in the form of an indulgent Fortnum & Mason picnic hamper, that is.

For the uninitiated, let me give you the lowdown on what exactly I’m referring to. Fortnum & Mason is an emblem of the British gourmet grocery world, world-renowned for its fine teas, treats, hampers, and gifts. Plus, it holds multiple Royal Warrants as a grocer and provisions merchant to the British Royal Family… so if it’s good enough for the King, it’s certainly good enough for yours truly.
