This White Gazpacho is a Flavorful Twist on a Classic

July 14, 2014 Filed Under: Soups and Stews

This White Gazpacho may just be my new favorite dish of summer.  Creamy yet light, full flavored, healthy, no-cooking “made in a food processor (blender)” soup.

This White Gazpacho is my new favorite dish of summer: creamy yet light, full flavored, healthy, no-cooking "made in a blender" soup. Vegan / gluten-free. #summer #recipes

I recently joined some awesome bloggers in the Cookbook Club Reviewers. Think “book club” for cookbooks! Perfect for me, isn’t it? Every month we pick a cookbook, try a few recipes then blog about them. For our inaugural book we are doing Home Made Summer by Yvette Van Boven

Now, about the book. It is a beautifully photographed and illustrated book. The recipes are quite varied and reflect the author’s Irish upbringing as well as her time spent in Amsterdam and Provence. Some dishes might seem “exotic” to most Americans (Quark anyone?); however, they are all fairly simple to make. The Melon Jam with Tarragon is a great example. Even though it isn’t something most people would think to make it is actually a very simple jam, perfect for the first time jam maker. Maybe it is the French vibe, but it is reminiscent of Julia Child to me.
