This recipe is Willowtree’s September edition of the Willowtree / Heavy Petal extravaganza…you may have seen some of the recent posts where Tina & I at Willowtree create a seasonal recipe, and Andrea at Heavy Petal tells you how to grow the main, seasonal ingredient. We’re trying to help readers with how satisfying it is to grow & cook your own food, y’see?

This month we bring you Tomato & Red Pepper Gazpacho. Not unlike our Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato Soup, this is a refreshing twist to enjoy during the warmer months…or during the months that are supposed to be warmer, at least here on Canada’s West Coast, as experienced in years other than the current one (and if you are picking up any sarcasm there, then yes, you are getting our drift; neither we, nor our tomatoes, have enjoyed the lack of warm weather this year).
