  1. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    I printed this recipe out years ago, then lost it. I have searched and searched online for it, but for some reason, couldn't find it again. I finally found it hidden away somewhere in one of my cookbooks and am SO happy to have it back. This is, hands down, the BEST gazpacho I have made. I've already made it 4 times in the last month, and will continue to make it as often as I have tomatoes. Considering the fact that I buy tomatoes at the Farmer's Market specifically to make this recipe, I'm hoping to make it many, many more times this summer!

    i'm an executive chef and i have been looking for this recipe with the puree first then the garnish for a while in my books, nothing comes close to this adaptation. Bravo.
