A summer picnic with your nearest and dearest is probably the most beautiful way to enjoy exquisite dishes and homemade food. So which dishes and drinks are actually suitable for a picnic? What should not be missing from the equipment and which locations are suitable? Whether in the park, forest or by the lake, shady and wind-protected spots with soft ground are ideal for sitting on for a while, protected of course by a picnic blanket. Even the way there becomes an experience with a hiking or cycling tour.

Light finger food such as quiches, tartelettes or wraps as well as a selection of colourful salads are suitable as food. These are easy to prepare, to transport and everyone can assemble them on their plate as they please. Pre-cut bread with fresh dips, cheese and sausage or snacks such as olives, nuts and nibbles are also appropriate. Fresh fruit should also be part of every picnic. Fruits with peel such as apples, oranges or watermelon are perfect. Drinks should be cold, not too sweet and tangy, such as homemade lemonade. For a stylish toast, however, it should be crémant or champagne.
