67 h. ago Rukmini Iyer’s quick and easy recipe for watermelon and tomato gazpacho with rosemary croutons | Quick and easy

This chilled soup is the ultimate cool customer for summer I can’t make gazpacho without thinking of Pedro Almodóvar’s Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend that you do, and not just for the iconic spiked gazpacho scene.

Raid the fridge and fill it with all manner of scrumptiousnessSome recipes, such as the gnocchi featured here last week, require only the fluffy insides of a baked potato, leaving the skins behind. Plenty of people leave the skins of their jacket spuds uneaten, too, though heaven knows why: it’s easily the best bit. These humble leftovers are an opportunity to make one of the most indulgent savoury treats known to humankind: loaded potato skins. I love them with just sea salt and a dollop of mayonnaise or soured cream, but they’re also gorgeous piled high with whatever bits and pieces you have to hand, turning scraps and leftovers into something that’s totally scrumptious.
