Borrowing another Delicious magazine recipe. Hope they don’t mind. Somehow I doubt it; it’s only recipe plagiarism when you make someone else’s recipes and don’t reveal the source, isn’t it? I’m a sucker for their magazine, though I must admit I don’t cook a lot of their recipes. They’re too fancy for me and for everyday cooking. I mainly drool over the gorgeous photography.

I’ve been meaning to make gazpacho, but as soon as the first signs of summer appeared, so did the gazpacho. Like, all over the internet. They popped up like playboy bunnies out of Hugh Hefners fake birthday cake. That kinda ruined it for me.

Very creamy, even though there’s not a drop of cream to be found in there. It’s…
Slowly I’m building quite a ‘what to do with left-over mashed potatoes’ category. Probably because—being the potato junkie that I am—I constantly make way too much of it. You’ll find my Ghanaian peanut soup (it’s absolutely divine!) and not to mention my Potato Crepes there. When I eat fish for dinner, I prefer to eat it with a light white sauce and some mashed potatoes. Carrots and leeks both make a perfect side-dish for fish, but…
