Summer picnic recipes

Dine where you like. Picnic in the countryside

There is always something adventurous about organizing a picnic. The dining table and chair are swapped for a nice blanket, and instead of porcelain plates and cutlery, it's best to serve the delicacies from the basket directly to your hand. Every patch of meadow becomes a dining room in the countryside in an instant. Accompanied by the chirping of birds and a light summer breeze, your eyes, ears and nose can enjoy the food too. And while you're still feasting and chatting, the children are off exploring. We have put together a few ideas for simple and easy-to-transport little things for you here. All you have to do is pack up.
