A perfect meal has multiple levels of flavor and textures, bright colors and tastes, and healthy(ish) choices. It's all about enjoyment. Enjoy the process, the presentation and the just rewards...eating! Be fearless!
I've always been a culinary improvisor which means I get my kicks out of recipe development. In the FOODalogue kitchen each meal is an adventure and the journey is as exciting as the destination. My favorite kitchen tools are imagination and intuition. I rarely look at a recipe, not even my own!
On these pages, I suggest food pairings and techniques to be experimented with...in your own kitchen...to your own spice levels...and to your preferred portion sizes.

The ingredients are there Joan but each person that makes this delcious warm weather soups adds their own touch. Paese che vai, usanza che trovi.
oops, I need a translation.
Looks so refreshing Joan!!!
Love the ingredients Joan…and the photo is cute too!
Just about time to have something delicious, healthy and refreshing!
What great ingredients Joan & the pic is priceless!!!
Ciao, Devaki @ weavethousandflavors
I love the combination of ingredients you’ve used here. Watermelon in a salsa or salad is always a treat. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings…Mary
… and a bottle of Corona!
Happy pool time!
I would never think of this. Sounds amazing and so refreshing.
Great recipe and can’t wait to make it.
And it tastes good leftover…maybe even better!
Never thought of a watermelon and tomato combination, but it sounds good and refreshing, especially by the pool.
Those flavors sound amazing–watermelon, sherry vinegar, garlic. Mmmm!
I can imagine that with a fresh, sliced baguette and a mojito.
oh Joan, this looks delicious and so fresh. I think I wil make it very, very soon because I love gazpacho.
Thanks for reminding me of a wonderful watermelon salad I must make! This will be a great addition to my summer menu items, too. Joan is in a creative mood again – and where is that pool? I want to be there!

hi! thanks for visiting chiknpastry
. this gazpacho looks awesome, and the pic by the pool is just perfect – makes me want to drink it all up 
Mmm. Watermelon salad with some crumbles of feta and a lime vinaigrette…
Nice soup@
in summertime I make liters of “normal” gazpacho, pour in bottles an store in the fridge.
it is perfect for many occasions, friends dropping by, quick lunch, happy hour or midnight snack.

Seriously refreshing. Will have to remember this when the summer heat hits NC.
A watermelon gazpacho is an excellent idea, so refreshing!
Great ingredients,Joan! Love the picture.
Almonds! I have never heard of that addition, sounds wonderful. I could go for a pool too.
it would definitely be a perfect treat – if i had a pool!! haha. so jealous you get to enjoy it poolside, but nonetheless, the recipe sounds fantastic. a lot of great ingredients (most of which i can probably get from my garden!). yay!
great idea Joan; the pool and the gazpacho look so inviting!
Such a refreshing take on a classic!
you closed the comments on your latest post; is there a reason? anyway, I was gonna tell you it is a great dish, I love caponata. adding the cheese at the end is a great touch too.
Sounds wonderful for a hot summer day!
