Gazpacho Andaluz
Recipes often hold a story and can be a window into the past; gazpacho is no exception. Deeply rooted in the history of Andalusia, Spain, gazpacho’s journey from “rags to riches” reflects Spain’s diverse culture and agricultural bounty. From the humble origins of soaked bread to its current celebration of abundance, the star status of gazpacho as the quintessential dish of Andalusia, is well earned. As they say in Spain, “De gazpacho no hay empacho.” translation: there’s never too much gazpacho.
