"No matter that hits you from life." The important thing is to recover from them and get up"

When I go to Madrid I love take your gourmet shops. It is true that each time we have access to more and more products at local and international level, but it is also true that it is not always easy to find everything you'd like.

There are two shops in particular that I lose: are the Vazquez Greengrocer, at calle Ayala 11, along with Serrano and Gold Gourmetin Ortega y Gasset 85, becoming almost a corner with Francisco Silvela.

Thinking of researching new jams, I came to the memory, that fruit so much fun that he bought in London: the rhubarb.

To those who have seen them ever, I will tell you that view they are almost identical to the celery, but red strawberry. Its smell is fruity and the taste citric between grapefruit and lemon, but without being sour. It is one stem very color you would have at home in a vase if it wasn't for how complicated it is to find it.

I try to buy in season when I when I go to Madrid (so am I), and when I get the clean home and freeze it in small pieces, (like I do with the handles of the Axarquía when it comes his time), and thus can enjoy its rich jam throughout the year. Well, its rich jam... of gazpacho with strawberries... and as succulent as today's cake. Are you coming with me to the kitchen to prepare it? Let's go!
