Eating with the seasons simply means enjoying food at the peak of its growing period when the flavor is rich and the taste is unbeatably sweet. That is especially true of tomatoes, which are at their best right now and into September, whether they come from your own kitchen garden or you buy them at the local Farmer’s Market.
From the smaller-sized Cherry or Grape tomatoes, to the sun-ripened tomatoes on the vine and the larger, juicy, heirloom tomatoes, now is the time to indulge in all those delicious tomato-based dishes you have been meaning to try.
Today, I am sharing a variety of my best summer tomato recipes, from appetizers, to salads, to breads, to pasta, and vegetarian dishes. Many require no cooking at all and the rest only need minimal preparation. All of these recipes showcase tomatoes at their very best! I hope you get to try a few of them, before the short period of perfectly ripe tomatoes is over!
