1. Extra Virgin Olive Oil Cake

In so many recipes of mine where I use extra virgin olive oil, it doesn’t contribute a lot of flavour because not much is used, but in this recipe I wanted to celebrate its beautiful distinctive flavour. For the olive oil cream we are making an emulsion – the fancy word for blending and holding oil and water together in the silkiest cream ever known to the gods.

Soufico is a traditional dish from Greece and a particularly popular meal on Ikaria. This island in the Aegean, about forty miles off the eastern coast of Turkey, is reportedly one of the healthiest regions in the world, boasting a large population of centenarians who still lead active lives. I discovered this delicious and healthy dish through American National Geographic fellow and New York Times best-selling author Dan Buettner. Let’s all dig into the fountain of youth, shall we? Serve this Mediterranean Vegetable Stew (Soufico) by Agatha Achindu over a bowl of farro, rice, fonio, or whatever you are loving at the moment. You can’t go wrong with this stew.

Toss a handful of things in a blender and, before you know it, you have something cool and refreshing yet surprisingly satisfying. The latter is thanks to tahini, the sesame seed paste that’s most commonly used to make hummus.It lends creaminess and nutty flavor but, more importantly, it adds a bit of protein and healthy fat, which turns this Cucumber Tahini Gazpacho with Crispy Spiced Chickpeas by Sheela Prakash into a light meal.

8. Cucumber Avocado Raita Gazpacho

Gazpacho is a refreshing, chilled soup that’s typically served during warm summer months. I also love it with spicy foods, as it’s a great way to cool down your palate. Raita is a cooling and refreshing yogurt-based Indian salad made with cucumbers that can include other chopped raw vegetables. This Cucumber Avocado Raita Gazpacho by Shivangi Rao was inspired by the avocado raita served at one of my favorite Indian restaurants; I love how the avocado adds a layer of creaminess and richness. Here, I’ve used the flavors of raita to make an Indian inspired gazpacho.
