Very pleased that The Tomato Basket is being published in a number of foreign language co-editions: Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese.
You can never have enough tomatoes, which is lucky for Jenny Linford, since The Tomato Basket is one in a fairly long line of cookbooks devoted to Solanum lycopersicum. As any fule kno, the tomato is a fruit (historically thought to be an aphrodisiac) that is almost exclusively treated as a vegetable. Italy is the place to be if you want wonderful tomatoes, but the UK is catching up – and Linford’s accessible book can only help. She has included 70 recipes, ranging from Thai gazpacho to polenta puttanesca. Tomatoes in crème fraîche is good with roast lamb.
