Gazpacho recipe

Here is another illustrated recipe. This recipe is originally from the South of Spain, from Andalucía. There are many ways to prepare it, and this is one of the easiest. 

I can highlight three very important things to keep in mind when preparing it:

1. Use ALWAYS Olive Oil.
2. Use overripe tomatoes.
3. Use small cucumbers instead of big ones. The big ones have more seeds and are not so tasty.

Typical Spanish Gazpacho recipe.

"Polvorones" recipe - Spanish typical shortbreads

Drawing at They Draw And Cook

This time, I have decided to draw all directly with the graphic tablet. I guess that after trying different methods I will choose the the one that fits me better.

I chose this recipe because Christmas is coming and if there is something that I miss, they are the "polvorones", typical shortbreads from Spain.

They can have different shapes and different ingredients like almonds, chocolate, coconut or sesam. 

I chose the basic recipe and from it we can add always more ingredients, keeping in mind that we would need a little bit more of shortening in this case.


This recipe is 100% vegetal. Instead of using fat or lard, I cooked with vegetal lard, very easy to find everywhere.

Yum!

Merry Chrissy!

Easy & Lazy Autumn Soup

After discovering the page They Draw and Cook, felt the need to combine both activities due to I love them. 

First, I drawn a simple draft on paper. 

Of course, during the process I was enjoying the delicious soup ;)

After drawing with ink I scanned it and opened it to illustrator, where I converted the drawings into vectorized images. 

The following step was opening it on Photoshop and colored it digitally. This was the result.

Then, I realized that They Draw and Cook page asks for different size, resolution and shape, so this was the final result to upload the recipe: Easy and Lazy Autumn Soup

Here was my my first try: a super easy and quick recipe perfect for autumn.
