Vibrant, bright, and bursting with flavour, this is the definitive guide to the much-loved tomato.

Where would we be without the tomato? From South America, on through much of Europe, Northern Africa, and Southern Asia, almost every culture and cuisine has found ways of making tomatoes their own. Fresh and tinned, tomatoes have proven themselves to be an endlessly versatile ingredient. In Tomato, best-selling author and professional chef Claire Thomson offers up her best 80 recipes with tomatoes as star of the show.

From Burnt Tomato Salsa and Peach, Tomato & Feta Salad, to Tomato Beignets, Crab & Tomato Tart, and Lamb, Tomato & Black Olive Ragu, the gorgeous recipes will satisfy and delight. While celebrating juicy, seasonal produce at the height of tomato season is imperative, there are also dishes that work just as well (or better) with tinned tomatoes during the colder months, ensuring opportunities for year-round feasting.

An appealing cookbook for when you’re facing a glut, or simply want to explore new flavours and techniques for a favourite ingredient, Tomato is the ultimate guide to stoking and slaking your tomato lust.
