When I was 19 years old, I bravely flew across the Atlantic to spend my summer with a French family in Avignon. Avignon is in the region of Provence, which is located in the south of France. I was intoxicated by the relaxed lifestyle and the overwhelming fragrance of fresh lavendar, which seems to fill the air at all times. Naive and ignorant, I began to realize that my own culture, though abudant, is somewhat lacking in flavor. So it was there, in France, where I began to slowly expand my immature palate. Philippe, my gracious host, has send me a recipe for Salmorejo. This is a Spanish soup, which he tells me is from rural Seville. I also have attached a link in which you can find the recipe. This soup seems to be similar to gazpacho, which is a cold, tomato soup- perfect for a hot summer day!! Bon Appetit!!!
