nothing says summer to me like caprese salad. every year i look forward to the combination of summer-ripened tomatoes, fresh basil and mozzarella, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar…mmmm….
well, folks, this has been a big week for us up here in seattle, complete with family, food, a live show, and school!
today is my very last day at the agency i’ve worked at since 2004. and mike’s last day at the company he’s worked at since 2003. and this is our last weekend in santa cruz.
i can’t wait to share the amazing summer dinner recipe pictured above with you! but first, i have to share photos from a cooking class we attended on thursday night. the class was taught by joseph schultz (many of you from santa cruz might know him better as india joze). joseph danced around the kitchen and created an amazing 11 dishes during the three hour chickpea festival class:
i know, i know, you’re either sick of tomatoes and corn by now, or you’re wondering why you’d make a chowder in the heat of the end of the summer.
but this soup is so light and so flavorful that you will want to slurp up as much of it as possible, leaving you wondering why you thought you were sick of tomatoes or questioning making soup when it’s warm out!
