Traditional recipes always inspire me: Gazpacho and a beautiful trip to San Sebastian in Northern Spain brought this one forth. You can taste every ingredient because the formula is uncomplicated and direct. Every vegetable (fruit) is available fresh from the farmer’s market. Plus, you don’t even need a stove!
