Gazpacho

Finally the summer is here and what could be better that have a star dish for the summer nights. I've modified a little bit the recipe (I take out the bread to make it lighter). 

I'm always looking forward for the summer to make the Gazpacho and to remind my mum’s gazpacho in Spain.

The ingredients that you are doing to need are:

-       4 ripe tomatoes (cut in half each tomato and take off the steam)

-       1/2 green pepper

-       1/2 cucumber (small)

-       1 clove of garlic

-       A pinch of salt

-       6 spoons of olive oil

-       2 spoons of white vinegar

Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend them till the mixture is smooth.

Poor the gazpacho into coarse strainer and it´s ready to eat or to drink depending the container you used to delight your palate.

You can play with the amount of garlic, olive oil and vinegar to obtain your special recipe because how we say in Spain, “For different tastes we have different colors” that is “"Everyone to his own taste."

New York, I love you

I'm subscriber to Netflix, the better invent to avoid the terrible television. Yesterday I saw "New York, I love you", a fantastic movie with different short love stories with great actors as  Bradley Cooper, Shia LaBeouf, Natalie Portman, Anton Yelchin, Hayden Christensen, Orlando Bloom, Irrfan Khan, Rachel Bilson, Chris Cooper, Andy García, Christina Ricci, John Hurt, Robin Wright Penn, Julie Christie, Maggie Q, Ethan Hawke and James Caan.

The cinematography and soundtrack are sensational, showing a lot of places of New York with a particular view with the perfect music.  Each story has been written or directed for a different director showing their particular vision of New York and the relationships that you can find in the city.

Here is the movie official trailer.
