The Heirloom Tomato, By Amy Goldman #8254
This book is one woman's loving tribute to the tomato and everything about it, from planting its seed to the ultimate pleasure of cooking and eating it. Author Amy Goldman knows her subject well and discusses the history and cultivation of tomatoes as well as giving us detailed profiles of select heirloom tomatoes. More than 200 gorgeous photographs illustrate the variety descriptions, which include thorough research enhanced by the author's personal experience of each tomato. Photographs are exquisite--life-like but so artistic it would seem a shame to eat the tomatoes used as subjects. But 55 inspired recipes prove that these tomatoes did end up in the kitchen to become delicious dishes. Hardcover, 272 pages.
