Late summertime and alfresco meals — there is nothing I enjoy more!
I love getting outside and enjoying these last days of good season. Trees are colorful, nature becomes generous with new smells, mushrooms and chestnuts are on their way to come! Picnics and warm weather just go together. Whether you cook out in your own patio area or take a picnic to a park, there's no wrong place to post up for a casual déjeuner sur l'herbe. Just gather your friends, grab a big blanket, and let the fun start.

Forget delicate leafy salads and fussy desserts. Today we will eat a deliciously simple sandwich, with smoked salmon, sun-dried tomatoes and a delicate saffron-flavored mayonnaise. Its preparation takes less than 10 minutes and can easily be multiplied to feed a crowd!"
