The warm summer days are here and it is time for eating outdoors in the company of nature, be it barbecues and grills or while out camping. It is also time to savor fresh summer salads, sandwiches and other picnic food, and to quench your thirst with fruity punches and cool drinks. And of course no summer meal is complete without your favorite ice cream or cold dessert.
