Warm summer evenings at the lake call for casual fare with simple preparations, local produce and other seasonal offerings from roadside stands and farmers' markets. And if you don't have a lake to call your own, this menu is just as delicious in your own backyard.

Add boiled fingering potatoes and your favourite green salad to complete this summery menu.
