Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Here are two celebrations of everyone's favorite summer vegetable. Lundy is a food writer and the author of Butter Beans to Blackberries, among other titles; coauthor Stehling is the chef/owner of a North Carolina restaurant called Early Girl Eatery (named after the tomato). She provides the history, science, and other significant tomato facts, while he supplies the recipes (some 50 in all), which are interspersed throughout the text. There are vibrant color photographs, lovely watercolors, reproductions of period advertisements and other memorabilia, and a chapter on the cult film Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! There is also a "Tomato Garden Primer" and a lengthy chart on growing and cooking with different varieties. Recommended for larger libraries. Davis-Hollander (founder & director, Eastern Native Seed Conservancy) presents a more ambitious but highly readable book. He includes a great deal more information, from a detailed chapter on heirloom tomato specifics and profiles of tomato growers and other notables to sidebars on tomato festivals around the country and a thorough guide to cultivation. Inspired by a diverse variety of cuisines, his 150 recipes-some of which come from well-known chefs (including Daniel Boulud and Rick Bayless)-are more appealing and simply mouth-watering. Recommended for most collections (where it should join Joanne Weir's excellent You Say Tomato). [A Good Cook Book Club selection.] Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

    Great gift to a tomato lover

    Often, finding presents for friends is hard, but this is a great gift to a tomato lover. My friend was delighted with it and so was her husband. She took it on a plane and read it the entire way. Her husband wasn't real happy she left town with it. Upon her return, she told me about several recipes she wanted to try.
