ReplyDeleteWhat is the derivation of this gazpacho recipe? I see that it is your grandmother's, but since it varies in so many ways from the traditional Spanish recipe I've prepared for so long, I would be very interested to know. Thank you. Curtis
ReplyDeleteCurtis- thank you for commenting here at this older post-and I add one of the few with a receipt! No- actually it is the spelling of recipe that I claim to my grandmother. I do like the traditional recipe- my brother made it just recently and I have to say I prefer it-But this with pineapple is a refreshing twist- it is actually a weight watchers. It is good.pgt
