Book Recommendation - The Heirloom Tomato, From Garden to Table



  One of the best things about Summer is the abundance of red, ripe tomatoes, preferably plucked right off of the vine. I start dreaming of tomatoes even before I get my plants in the ground. Sadly, my plants struggled a bit toward the beginning of Summer. But it seems as if they are making a comeback. I may have some fruit before Winter after all!
  Because I am right in the middle of my annual tomato obsession, I found myself purchasing this book. I feel no guilt. And let me tell you why....

  • There is a ton of very useful information about many, many different types of heirloom tomatoes.
  • There is helpful information on growing tomatoes (which clearly I may need!)
  • There are yummy looking recipes.
  • And since I tend to geek out about food photography... This book is just filled with absolutely stunning tomato still-life photography.  

 If you are a food dreamer like me you will want to check this book out. Together, we will dream about the perfect tomato... or lots and lots of perfect tomatoes (even better)!
