Gazpacho: Raw Tomato Soup
24 August 2012
I always thought that Gazpacho, a cold tomato soup, or ‘liquid salad‘ from Southern Spain, was a weird concept. For some reason I just didn’t get it. Until I made a Gazpacho Smoothie. And loved it. It’s essentially the same thing, just whipped up in a blender. Shame really as I spent a year in more…

Mmmm love the taste and smell of fresh picked organic strawberries…Our local health food shop is going to have them every day for as long as they last throughout the summer so we’re on a mission to find as many different ways of preparing them as possible. Of course, eating strawberries just as they are is more…
