From Heirloom tomatoes that return to their old-fashioned, full-flavoured origins to today's naturally fresh vine-ripened ones, tomatoes tastily belong in any course of the meal. Enjoy them simple with just a drizzle of oil and balsamic vinegar or take them to delicious new heights with these recipes.
Tomato tip: Don't refrigerate!
Leave tomatoes at room temperature until ready to enjoy. Refrigeration causes loss of flavour and an undesirable, mealy texture. Tomatoes that need further ripening can be stored in a paper bag or kept in a cool, dark space.
