Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Several tomato cookbooks have appeared over the past year, Sharon Nimtz and Ruth Cousineau's lively Tomato Imperative!: From Fried Green Tomatoes to Summer's Ripe Bounty (LJ 6/15/94) being one of the best. Jordan, author of two previous "Good Cook" books, including The Good Cook's Book of Mustard with More Than 100 Recipes (LJ 4/15/94), offers another engaging look at this favorite fruit/vegetable. Her California cuisine-style recipes are somewhat more upscale than the ones in Tomato Imperative!, making this a good companion to that book. Recommended.

Review

Over 200 tomato dishes are included in a title which proves an exception to the usual tomato cookbook: this features many innovations and unique dishes unavailable elsewhere, along with many favorites. From a zesty Tomato Stilton Soup to B. L. T. variations and Tomato Pasta, this is perfect for the home gardener/cook's annual bumper crop. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't face summer without it, September 25, 2002

This review is from: Good Cook's Book Of Tomatoes (Paperback)

Michele Anna Jordan has the ability to cover a single ingredient in depth and create recipes, a lot of recipes that celebrate the foodstuff without making a cliche out of it. In "Tomatoes" she presents us with exquisite recipes that celebrate the old time, comfort foods in a solid and secure way. She also gives us some new and adventurous dishes to try, ones that no doubt will become favored summer classics as time goes by. A great little book for tomato junkies, young and old.
