Cuisine from Spain podcat no. 8 - Gazpacho!

As the temperatures rise in Madrid, Marina decides it’s time for that summer classic, Gazpacho!

Hola,

I enjoyed the pod cast. Again I like the chemistry you two bring. Marina, do you wonder if you missed your calling? It seems like you have a knack not just for cooking but also for presenting recipes. Congrats on your increasing notoriety as noted by the end of the pod cast.

Si siguen asi, tendran su propia emisora de television

Gracias ValenciaSon,

I really enjoy doing the podcasts and I guess that shows somehow;-)

What was the game that you mentioned, something like tennis

Padel?

Yep that's it, you said you were going to play Padel while the gazpacho cooled

Brian · 31st May 2006, 12:00 AM

So, you left us hanging. How was the gazpacho?

Marina · 31st May 2006, 07:38 AM

I don't know if I can judge as I did prepared it. But you can imagine that after playing padel for one hour in intense heat (35 Celsiuos more or less), and loosing mostly every point

, eating a refreshing gazpacho was the best possible thing to do.
Also it is a healthy option full of vitamins!!!

You do if you play singles - that's a killer, but doubles (which is more common) isn't so strenuous.

ValenciaSon · 31st May 2006, 02:56 PM

In padel, can you play off the back and side walls like in racquetball?

Ben · 31st May 2006, 02:59 PM

Yes, you can.

Hola Ben,

Can you send us some sunshine as well as some delicious gazpacho? Yesterday, it was 11 degrees Centigrade in Utrecht.

Gracias

Edith

I wish I could oblige!!!

Marina,

Excellent recipe- we tried it last night. The only thing I would change next time is to check the strength of the onion- ours was very strong, and it dominated the taste of the gazpacho.

Marina · 6th June 2006, 09:25 AM

It is important to note that 1 onion is listed in the ingredients, but only half is used. The other half is for the "pispirris". This is for a medium size onion, if the onion is big use only a quarter.

As I said in the podcast it is better to try with small quantities of everything (except tomatoes

of course) and taste before continuing.

Good luck next time!!!
Marina.

I had Gazpacho today, though it was at a pub type place famous for it's reuben's, Burghoff, it was ok, but it wasn't very spicey. Almost like it can came out of a can or something, i will have to make your recipie sometime

I hope some posters don't just order gazpacho when in the Valencia Province!
They might get a shock, gazpacho Valenciano is nothing like the gazpacho Andaluz that's described here, it's more a winter dish and can be served as a main course or starter!
