This recipe (and the next one) comes from Lynne Rossetto Kasper of public radio’s “The Splendid Table.” This recipe will freeze perfectly, great for winter when you just wish you had a box with 3 dozen gorgeous summer tomatoes. Peel the tomatoes or not, up to you.
This recipe comes from “The Heirloom Tomato: From Garden to Table: Recipes, Portraits, and History of the World’s Most Beautiful Fruit” by Amy Goldman. I haven’t tried this yet but for all those folks who love to make kale chips, maybe this is the summer alternative.
The first thing I did when I got home (at 10pm after a very late night at work) was to sort out the tomatoes, setting aside the ones that had gotten banged up on their journey. Rinsed, any questionable parts cut off, those tomatoes went into the food processor, some with a clove of garlic,…

From the November 2003 issue of Fine Cooking magazine. I love this idea of using coarse breadcrumbs in place of cheese – and love, love, love the addition of pine nuts and raisins.
From Lynne Rossetto Kasper, the host of NPR’s “Splendid Table.” Perfect for using that fish you brought home from the fish market at the beach!
I will probably just eat my waternelon in big chunks, but if you want to do something different, this lovely salad idea from Bill Smith of Crook’s Corner restaurant in Chapel Hill, North Carolina is a nice combination of sweet, spicy and sour.
This is James Beard’s recipe, adapted from his book, “Beard on Food.” You know – the James Beard of the James Beard Awards that our chefs are all so anxious to win every year?
This is a classic Provencal dish, perfect with grilled meat or fish or as a filling for an omelet or as dinner all by itself. The Beard folks note that in France it’s often presented as an appetizer with a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar and a sprinkling of chopped parsley. Toss in one of those jalapenos if you like.
Is there any chance you still have a tomato or two left over from last week’s box? This recipe is from Scott Peacock.
Are you game to try grilling a pizza? Seems like a great way to entertain as nights get just a little bit cooler. I’ve adapted this recipe from the August 2010 issue of Fine Cooking magazine. Substitute store-bought pizza dough (Trader Joe’s has balls of white and whole wheat pizza dough for about $1 each.) if you don’t want to make your own. No Riverview Italian sausage in your refrigerator? Run out to the Farm Mobile or one of their local markets this week.
I am so excited that we have all the makings of this recipe from our box this week. I was afraid I’d have to save this recipe for next year, but the tomatoes are back! This recipe is adapted from one demonstrated by Atlanta mixologist Lara Creasy at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market.
