Tomato Recipes Welcome

Having grown tomatoes for many years and have used them in my cooking - using them whenever I can, it seems right to me to put a few great ways to eat tomatoes into recipes.

My favourite tomato dishes include pasta, or spicy sauces such as curry. Of course salads and Greek style large tomatoes stuffed with rice and dressed in olive oil are memories to savour.

Don't forget the herbs - the king of which is basil and the combination of tomato and basil is one of the great marriages of the culinary world - tomato and basil sauce is great with pasta.

Chopped, whole, fresh or cooked, the tomato is among the most popular fruit - not least because of its medicinal values as an antioxidant. Many claims are made of the health value that may or may not be completely accurate. However, one thing is for certain, you won't do yourself any harm by eating tomatoes.
