Thank you for such a lovely recipe, I think it's really nice how it has so many elements that together make it gourmet, but individually are actually quite simple to make!

Look, you seem like a nice person, and you probably meant well. But not every veggie cold soup is a Gazpacho, people. Gazpacho is an actual recipe with a set list of ingredients. It's like calling a cranberry vodka a Bloody Mary. Not the same thing. And it's pretty offensive to Spanish cuisine.

[@FerrerThess]

Like, literally it has not a single ingredient in common with the real Gazpacho (but the cucumber --- some people use it for garnish). It's a green smoothie.

[@alancats]

So, it's not a "classic" tomato-based gazpacho; big deal. It's not a crime against humanity. You seem incredibly uptight about this. And, the notion that this dish is "offensive" to Spanish cuisine is a ridiculous assertion. Only an obnoxious fanatic would take umbrage at this, so, even making that assertion is just silly.

[@ChefMajk]

@@FerrerThess call it smoothie then ;)

[@HPaul-uq3ps]

I have also had a strawberry “Gazpacho” by the way. In Spain, nonetheless.

[@justinwong1072]

Melon caviar is genius. It's like a drinkable salad. Will try this summer.

[@JamesChurchill3]

Thank you for putting in subtitles, sometimes you reference an ingredient I am unfamiliar with and seeing it written makes it much easier to search for. Great recipe chef!

[@srki80]

Great videos! If you were to host a five-course dinner for six people, how would you do it? Ideally, it would mostly involve re-heating and/or cooking protein and plating.

[@ChefMajk]

Not sure what you asking for...you have time manage time properly, cook things in advance and adjust recipes for your equipment and skill

excellent ! 🎉😊

[@fabbriziomanese3242]

Can you explain a bit more on the ingredients and how to make the watermelon caviar? Like how long should we put the vegetable oil in the freezer, how much agar etc? Its not in the ingredient list. Love this dish and will try to make it this friday

[@ChefMajk]

1g agar per 100 ml of liquid. Oil until is cold

[@fabbriziomanese3242]

@@ChefMajk thank you my friend! Will let you know how it went. Bought dry ice to make it even more special

Very nice chef.. ❤❤❤❤

[@cieproject2888]

Hello! Great recipe. I'm curious why you used the the Agar and Cold Oil method for spherification rather than the method with Sodium Alginate and Calcium Lactate. Is there a reason I shouldn't use the other method?

[@ChefMajk]

Because I did not have sodium and calcium at home, easy reason ;) Plus it is a different thing, I like this hard balls more

[@gilangignasraharjo6138]

Never have cold soup in my culture... looks delicious tho

[@mariapap8962]

It is 😋

[@edeen-simple7448]

Hey chef, greetings from Chile... what do you add at minute 1.33? What ingredient is it? THE WHITE POT. congratulations... thank you!!

[@andreaslovestocook]

Chef Majk, this gazpacho was delicious. Made it for friends. But I couldn't get the watermelon caviar to form balls. Does the oil need to be a specific temperature? A special oil? What's the trick here? I live 1860 meters above sea level. Could that have anything to do with it?

[@ChefMajk]

Oil has to be around 0C so you set the gel very fast. Any oil will work

[@andreaslovestocook]

@@ChefMajk thank you!! and the consistency of the watermelon purée, should it be more gelatinous or watery?

[@ChefMajk]

@@andreaslovestocook There is no watermelon puree but gel. So gelatinous for your question

[@hereweare9011]

What's the white powder you put in with the watermelon, right before you blended it?

[@ChefMajk]

Sugar

[@marcozuniga3787]

Good night, chef. What ingredient is the white powder that puts the gazpacho and the watermelon?

[@ChefMajk]

Probably sugar

[@marcozuniga3787]

At minute 1:35 you put something white. But I don't see that that ingredient is salt.

[@marcelomolina7]

How this dish is supposed to be eaten? With a straw?

[@jozsefolasz8702]

An interesting recipe. But the sugar is way too much. I would add some onion and garlic to the cucumber and no or very little sugar. If somebody tries the caviar: do not put too much melon in the oil because it will warm up, destroying the caviar.

[@ChefMajk]

You can you out less sugar if like, no problem

Yeaa in a fancy restaurant this will be like 99.98 dollars

[@gropro]

That recipe looks very nice, but taste is odd and like nothing you want to encounter again. If you like soups Polish cousine has hundreds of it: - żurek - barszcz czerwony, - barszcz biały, - pomidorowa, - ogórkowa, - kapuśniak, - kwaśnica, - grochowa, - fasolowa, - ziemniaczana, - jarzynowa, - koperkowa, - czernina, - krupnik, - rosół, - szczawiowa, - gulaszowa, - grzybowa, - botwinka, - dyniowa. - flaki, - pieczarkowa, It's just a splash of these soups, I left original Polish pronunciation so you may have a slight chance to get an original recipe when googling, but anyway recipe from the video is hundred light years from any of these soups

[@kransencrates]

Looks real neat but that aint no gazpacho.

[@EdwardJosephShields-ux2vu]

Yes it is! It’s a cold vegetable soup, therefore qualified as a gazpacho. 😺🌶️

[@Delkoe]

all this talk about the perfect plate, and you serve a soup on a flat plate.... come on mann

[@ChefMajk]

And what is the problem with a flat plate?

[@Delkoe]

Nothing when it comes to solid foods :) But I think 30 ml soup is silly 😜

@@Delkoe Feel free to make your soup and you can use any plate and any kind of amount you want .) I think your comment is silly, so we fine

Look, you seem like a nice person, and you probably meant well. But not every veggie cold soup is a Gazpacho, people. Gazpacho is an actual recipe with a set list of ingredients. It's like calling a cranberry vodka a Bloody Mary. Not the same thing. And it's pretty offensive to Spanish cuisine.

[@btschumacher19]

Gazpacho is a dish with so much history. Have you ever considered the version you’re most familiar with isn’t the original and that adding tomatoes was once another new iteration? How boring the world would be if we never iterated on recipes using modern techniques and ingredients.

[@btschumacher19]

Adding this reading if KZbin will allow: books.google.com/books?id=3UQqve4FVyAC&pg=PA134&vq=gazpacho#v=onepage&q=gazpacho&f=false

[@FerrerThess]

When you remove 90% of a recipe's ingredients, and add another bunch that would never be added by the culture who invented the recipe, and who have been doing it for over 4 centuries, is not a new iteration; it's a different dish. A possbly great dish, but a different one. There are different versions of Gazpacho, but they all have the same core ingredients and tase somewhat similar --because it's the same dish. Some add a splash of vinegar, others a bit of lemon juice, some add some garlic and make a hybrid with a Salmorejo, some don't add bread, some do, etc etc etc. That is innovation, that is respecting the actual recipe and adapting it to your taste and creativity. Making a complete new recipe with diffferent ingredients that if any Spaniard would see/tase will not even be able to recongnise as a "gazpacho" is not a "cucumber gazpacho with watermelon"; it's a cold veggie soup, or whatever other name you'd like to give it. The same way not every tomato soup is a "gazpacho" either. I'd be the same thing that if you take a paella, and you add some green peas. Well, it's not the traditional recipe, but it's recognizable, it stills looks and feels, and tastes similar to a paella. But if instead of paella rice (similar to arborio rice) you use basmati or long rice, add some fish sauce insteat of stock, and soy sauce instead of salt, and then crack and egg on top to scamble it...guess what? You made something like a fried rice, but you did not make a paella... @@btschumacher19

[@relaxandstudymusic6233]

Mate,@@btschumacher19 that is not innovation. Innovation is what Gordom Ramsay did here (kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWmvnGqwl96af8k). He added a bit a basil, and some green onions. I bet that was tasty as hell. Gordon loves Spanish food, and knows it pretty well. He said on the record he likes it more than italian food, and therefore he respects it. Did you notice how he didn't change the whole dish and called it "Gordon's pear and green peas Gazpacho" LOL.
