This is a perfect snack for tiny chefs. It's about smashing the creamy fruit with a fork, squeezing lime and learning how to roughly tear some herbs. Daphne pictured, 4, chooses carrot sticks for dipping, though plain corn chips also go very well. She finds scooping the avocado flesh out with a spoon very satisfying and then gets to tear herbs while an adult chops the onion.
Shop-bought guacamole often includes all sorts of ingredients to pad out the avocado. Because it's so easy, the best guacamole is made fresh at home.

Andy, the bar manager, describes this classic cold soup as "the beach cricket of Spain - it screams summer". For me, it's a celebration of the tomato at its vine-ripened best. Home gardeners with a surplus of tomatoes and a loaf of two-day-old bread will find this a pleasing solution to their oversupply. But follow the recipe - deviations may cause a flavour imbalance.
