Classic Gazpacho Recipe

Image
This easy gazpacho recipe blends fresh tomatoes, cucumber, and sherry vinegar into a Spanish cold soup. It’s one of the most refreshing ways to use summer tomatoes! The first time I had real gazpacho, I was sitting in a tiny restaurant in the center of a white-washed village in Southern Spain. My first spoonful of the cold soup was the literal definition of refreshing: tomato, cucumber, a hint of garlic, rich olive oil and a bright sherry-vinegar finish. It’s the perfect soup for when tomatoes and cucumbers are in season and of course, I had to recreate it at home. Here’s my very favorite summer gazpacho recipe: made like the Spanish do! 5 Star Reader Reviews “Outstanding! Loved using sherry vinegar in the soup. Beautiful and delicious. Thank you.” -KJ “Best gazpacho recipe I’ve made! I added another clove of garlic because I like a little more of a kick. But it’s SO good.” -ES What Is Gazpacho? Gazpach...

This easy blueberry cobbler recipe has a little magic! As it bakes, the berries sink and the batter forms a golden crust on top.

Jungle Bird

Image
The Jungle Bird is a tropical rum cocktail with a twist! Bitter Campari offsets sweet pineapple juice to make a balanced, refreshing mixed drink. The first time I had a Jungle Bird, I was sold. It’s one of the few rum cocktails to pair tropical flavors with an Italian bitter: Campari . You might know Campari from the ubiquitous Negroni : an ultra dry and bitter drink. But add it to a tropical drink and it becomes something new: balanced, unique, and absolutely irresistible (in my opinion). Campari perfectly balances the drink and gives the finish an intriguing complexity. In fact, one of my personal favorites and I’ve made over over 300 cocktail recipes ! It hits all the right notes: sweet, tart, fruity, and bitter. Why You’ll Love This Recipe It’s a tropical drink with depth. Most fruity cocktails are super sweet, but the Campari keeps this one interesting. Five ingredients, five minutes. It’s very simple to whip up. It...

Cortado Coffee

Image
A cortado coffee is an espresso drink with the perfect balance of milk and espresso! It’s a uniquely smooth pairing that’s silky and robust. Looking for an espresso drink that’s even better than a latte or a cappuccino? In my opinion, it’s the Cortado! This Spanish coffee drink is intensely smooth, the ideal balance between espresso and milk. It’s rich, robust, and silky, each component bringing out the best in the other. As an espresso drink lover, I love how I get more espresso and less milk than a latte (I like the flavor better and my stomach thanks me!) Many espresso drinks are Italian in origin, but this Spanish-style one takes it to a whole new level. 5 Star Reader Review “Just made this with my Rocket Appartmento and it was delicious!… Perfectly acidic, and the yummy creaminess of my morning latte without all the calories and afternoon bloating. It’s so yummy that I think I might be brave next time and not add an...
