Ajo Blanco - Icy almond, olive oil & sherry vinegar soup for hot days

This is a gorgeous, cheap, easy to make, no cook soup that is fabulous on a hot afternoon. I love it even more because the ingredients are simple, always in the house - uses left over sourdough bread - (if you ever have any) and what's more - the ingredients in Spain are similar to what we grow right here in Victoria. Garlic, almonds, olive oil, vinegar, good rustic bread, grapes, and this recipe calls for your best vinegar and oil.  Some recipes are scant on those things but I am not so please add carefully and taste as you go, keeping in mind that you'll be adding them again to serve/at the table.

Zaru Soba (Cold Dipping Soba)

Serve the soba on a bamboo mat if you have one -  or just a plate, topped with nori strips. Pour the cold tsuyu into small individual cups. Each person adds wasabi, spring onions, and daikon to their tsuyu, then dips the noodles in with each mouthful -  and slurps away!
