to work from home!) But I don´t think this
beats a cuppa made by an rgntnn, brought in a
cardboard tray to an overcrowded office... no
way.

with the veg and fruit from a weekly organic
delivery. Check it out!

The new veg box came today - bursting with bright, red, fresh plump summer veg. I had the day working from home - sitting in the kitchen with the early summer sun streaming in. Everything was pointing to one thing - gazpacho.
I rooted around in various recipe books for a good recipe - some were very simple - just tomatoes, olive oil, vinegar. I wanted to use more of the veg box goodies so half-followed a Jane Grigson recipe. Here's the basics...
Peel and roughly chop tomatoes and cucumbers. Just chop a red pepper or two. More or less the same amount of each veg. Add strong olive oil and red or white wine vinegar - a few tablespoons of each. Season well. Chop a clove or two of garlic - to taste. Add some white bread (stale preferably) - I just added a pitta bread as that's all we had in the cupboard.
Blitz everything with enough water to make a thickish soup - but thin enough to drink out of a glass. Re-test the amount of salt and vinegar - I like a generous amount of both. Serve in a wine glass, perhaps with ice if it's a really hot day.
Enjoy in the garden, while glancing through photos of old holidays in Andalucia.
