It’s summer and ripe, juicy strawberries are in season. My mom and dad are die hard fans of Chef Daniel Humm who heads up the kitchen at Eleven Madison Park restaurant in New York City. He is kinda like the James Beard of NYC for all of you foodies out there. He gave this recipe to New York Magazine and I thought I would share it with you too – kids will love it, and they can even drink this gazpacho recipe dish with a straw! Now let’s get started…
