Recipes and ideas for summer cooking.

Picnic food

You can make the same sandwiches you have always made, or you could give this picnic a whole new flavor. Bringing a good main dish on a picnic, without making it into a  sandwich is doable.

Fajitas

Beef steak should be sirloin, flank, or round. Pickled jalapeño peppers should be chopped and may be omitted if not desired.

Gazpacho

The better tomatoes you use the better your gazpacho will be. Juicy tomatoes like plum tomatoes, or any other of the kind used for sauce, work best. Good tomatoes are the most important ingrediente, followed by good olive oil.
