In the winter, warm food is more appetising. It is harder to bring oneself to eat fruit, which tends to be cold, and less appetising at this time of year.

Gazpacho is a very refreshing entrée dish that is traditionally eaten in the summer in Spain. Gazpacho is usually made of tomato, onion and cucumber, but in the last years watermelon gazpacho has begun to spread in Spanish restaurants.

This is the ideal cake, the healthiest in the world and the best for people with intolerances, because the only ingredient is fruit!
It’s a sweet cake but it doesn’t contain any sweetener: no sugars, no syrups, no honey and no dried fruit. 
Although we are in winter, an ice cream is always welcome, and you can take advantage of frozen fruit such as raspberries and strawberries; and banana for the base of the ice cream instead of dairy cream. 
It’s quite a labourious process so foresee at least 1 hour, and it needs to be frozen for at least 4 hours, so maybe it’s better to prepare it one day before it’s going to be served.

23/11/2014 - Vegetable and fruit chips

The chips made of vegetables and fruits are a good alternative for snack or to replace potato chips. You can use beetroot, carrot, sweet potato, squash, apple, orange, etc.
In the past it was a way to preserve fruits and vegetables during the winter, and it was dried in the sun.

Home-made chips have the advantage versus the ones in the shop that they can be made without oil, so they are healthier. But with oil they will be cruchier. And commercial fruit chips use to contain antioxydants (sulfur dioxide) and/or sugars.
