On today's episode I share a recipe for one of my favorite refreshing summer dishes: gazpacho. Coming from the south of Spain, gazpacho features fresh seasonal tomatoes, peppers, and cucumber. Served as a soup or a drink, this recipe will save you from heating up the kitchen and cool you down at the same time.

On today's episode we visit with author Matt Moore about his new book "Butcher on the Block: Everyday Recipes, Stories, and Inspirations from Your Local Butcher and Beyond." Matt likes to say that sometimes to get the best recipes, just talk to your butcher. This book is a reflection of that, with stories from local butchers across the country and a heaping helping of recipes to go along with. We'll hear Matt's thoughts on the state of local butcher shops in the U.S., his favorite cut of meat for grilling, and some tips for visiting your local butcher for the first time.
