As a self-styled tomato aficionado, I was excited to receive this book. Each year, I grow over two dozen tomato plants, with several different varieties. There's nothing better than biting into a sun warmed tomato, picked right off the vine. This is followed by the end of the season rush, when they all seem to come ripe at once, and, oh my god, what am I going to do with them all! Followed by several days of canning, freezing, and giving them away to the neighbors.
Thanks to this book, I now show more have several more ideas of what to do. Full of wonderful photography, and loaded with interesting sounding recipes, I'm going to use this book a lot. I only wish that I had received it in August, instead of November! show less

Just wonderful! I was drawn to this book by its title since I have an incredible love of tomatoes. The recipes contained sound fantastic and I can't wait to try many of them. This book contained a lot of useful information about tomatoes, different varieties, and the best variety to use in different recipes and forms of cooking. The photography throughout is brilliant and really highlights the true beauty of the humble tomato. 💗🍅💗
