I should mention at the outset a few things about this menu. First, it’s light, fresh, cool, elegant — meant for beating the heat — with the flavor-enhancing help of some familiar Japanese ingredients. It’s also a bit of a splurge: You’ll need to shell out for seafood and invest a certain amount of effort into the recipes. But the good news is that absolutely every dish can be prepared a day ahead, leaving very little last-minute fussing.

At long last, warm weather is ours. I declare picnic season open for business. But I use the term “picnic” to describe any of several dining variations. It could be a proper outdoor meal on the lawn, at the beach or in a boat. Or a feast on the front stoop. It can even be a picnic indoors if the weather isn’t cooperating. The picnic spirit is casual, convivial, the opposite of formal. The food is simple but mouthwatering. For this picnic menu, I craved kebabs like those I enjoyed in Istanbul.
