Tomatoes: A Country Garden Cookbook, executive chef and restaurant owner Jesse Ziff Cool has developed a collection of recipes that deliciously demonstrate the versatility of the tomato. Each classic dish offers a new and exciting approach to cooking with tomatoes. Plucked fresh from the garden or the greengrocer's basket, red ripe Romas, delicate yellow Lemon Boys, juicy orange Golden Jubilees and sweet lemony Green Zebras are just a few of the 20 colorful varieties of tomatoes that are served up in a range of mouth-watering dishes. Discover innovative openers such as Grilled Polenta with Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto and Oysters with Spiced Tomato Concassee. Flavorful main courses such as Grilled Lamb Chops with Tomato Pear Chutney and Chili Mashed Potatoes and Fresh Tomato Lasagna over Wilted Greens will whet the appetite. You'll learn how to enhance any meal with a touch of Tomato Tarragon Vinaigrette or Red Pepper Tomato Butter. And you'll delight in unique desserts such as Tomato-Ginger Upside-Down Cake or Green Tomato Raspberry Pie. Photographer Deborah Jones has used her artistic vision to capture and present these dishes in magnificent photographs, touched with elegance and serenity of the country setting that inspired them.
