Almond and Grape Gazpacho

Chilled nutty almond and fruity grape soup with piquant sherry vinegar, garlic and spring onions; Almond and Grape Gazpacho.

Rev up your sexual desires with a natural aphrodisiac.

This will topple your belief that vegan can’t be super nourishing.

Make this:

• When you’re looking for a cleansing appetiser that’ll have you feeling all refreshed and wholesome
• When you’ve had a long day at the office. You are in need of a nourishing pick me up that’ll have you up in a jiffy
• When you’re looking for an elegant simple entrée masterpiece for your lush dinner party

Almond and Grape Gazpacho was inspired when reminiscing about a New Year’s Eve 7 Course dinner. I was in Madrid with an ex-beau and this lush starter just energised us.

This Gazpacho dish is raw, vegan and paleo. It is Spanish cuisine too.

Where I can get my ingredients from

Blanched almonds, I purchase from a nifty Asian outlet in Hayes.  It has an online presence too which can be found here – I love it because it is reasonably priced and tends to be good quality stuff which I use.

What equipment to use

For this recipe, I suggest:

High-speed blender

My recipes are featured in vegan speciality publications: Nourished, Vegan Life, Plant Based and Vegan, Food and Living.

Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.

Going strong since 2013.
