We just spent a long, hot day at the Foodies festival in Battersea courtesy of our lovely neighbours who gave us tickets. Being there was pretty awesome, loads to try and loads to buy; we also learned, for example, that Ginger Ale is weaker because it’s made with ginger oil but Ginger Beer (which we bought some of) is stronger because it’s made from ginger root. We came home with full stomachs, some bread and FREE Tenderstem broccoli that I’ll make something with tomorrow.
When it got to eating time again, I felt too hot and sticky to cook let alone eat anything warm so I knocked up this gazpacho and threw some of our Foodies festival bread on top of it. For anyone not yet aware, gazpacho is cold soup and is vitamintastic!
