Jay Gulati has a passion for food and travel and has visited countries such as Italy and Spain.

Traditional gazpacho in Andalucía combines ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, garlic, olive oil, and other fresh ingredients on hand. Blended until smooth and served chilled, gazpacho is the perfect antidote to the summer heat. Regional variations abound, with Córdoba offering a thick version called salmorejo that incorporates a topping of Ibérico ham.
Another vegetable-laden Spanish dish, pisto, is most common in the towns of La Mancha. This version of the French ratatouille involves frying tomatoes, onions, garlic, and zucchini slowly in olive oil. Some prefer to eat the dish in combination with hearty proteins such as chorizo and fried eggs.
