There is something wonderfully irreverent about carrying out one of life’s daily activities without a roof over your head; from rustic to modern, here are ten favorite outdoor kitchens where we would like to spend our summers cooking.

Above: “From WWOO Outdoor Kitchens comes the perfect combination of stylish design and Dutch practicality,” writes Janet. “The company uses modular components to create kitchens that range from barely-beyond-basic to fully equipped. Add-ons might include a pizza oven, a steel fireplace, and a stainless firebox. WWOO Showrooms are located throughout the Netherlands, and in Paris, Stuttgart, and Prague.” Above: An open-air workstation in a covered walkway adjacent to the shop has a sink, countertop space, and simple shelving.
