Anyway the Andalusia show was as expected strikingly beautiful to watch ... and very interesting too .... Jamie cooked a massive paella in the world's biggest paella dish to feed an entire village, visited a female nunnery where the nuns are supercooks but can't be seen, so they sell their food via a revolving hole in the wall and cooked up delicious chorizo and bean dishes in the middle of idylic looking sunflower filled fields. Being a gazpacho lover though the highlight for me was when he made a very easy and yummy looking gazpacho .... It did look so easy and so healthily enticing that I have decided that this summer I will not be buying my gazpacho ready made in the supermarket but creating it in my own kitchen!
It seems that to create the perfect gazpacho you really only need juicy and ripe tomatoes ( peeled ) ... a cucumber ( peeled ) ... red and green peppers ... tons of olive oil and a little sherry vinegar ... garlic and stale bread soaked in water. You bung the whole lot on top of some ice in a jug and ... blend .... yummy ... I shall be trying it asap and will let you know how it goes!
Top tips from the show ... to be authentic always serve your gazpacho in a glass as that's what the Spanish do ... ( here on the costa del sol it seems to come in bowls with gallons of toppings ... whoops! ) and add Sherry vinegar to ... EVERYTHING!
