The tomato is the edible, often red, berry of the plant Solanum lycopersicum, commonly known as a tomato plant.
It is features in many dishes, sauces, salads, and drinks. While tomatoes are fruits—botanically classified as berries—they are commonly used as a vegetable ingredient. Numerous varieties of the tomato plant are widely grown in temperate climates across the world, with greenhouses allowing for the production of tomatoes throughout all seasons of the year.
Another way to use up stale bread. Make sure the bread is baked in a low oven until perfectly dry - otherwise the base will be mushy! No precise measurements here. I used a 9 inch frying pan. Add another egg if you use a larger pan. For a vegetarian version, substitute strips of baked aubergine...

Until 2014, we never knew that Florida had a native tomato. The Everglades tomato might just be the worlds smallest one. Not much bigger than a US dime.They are so small, to my knowledge, there isn't a commercial market for them. They are like little bursts of sweet, with a bold tomato flavor...

Given my allergy to dairy proteins (not an intolerance to lactose), I have to be rather creative with my alternatives sometimes and this is one of them. I was fancying cream of tomato soup. Normally I would use creamed cashew nuts to make such a soup but there's an ingredient challenge on at...

Ingredients (makes enough to fill a 300ml jar)
1 mango, peeled and roughly chopped
12 baby...
This is my latest recipe for using up apples. So far I have made apple pickle and apple mustard and have spiced apple chutney to do this week, but today I also had green tomatoes to use up so made a curried green tomato chutney.
The recipe started out as this one but I used red onions, a mix of...
With farmer’s markets overflowing with the most wonderful summer produce, what better way to embrace this seasonal bounty than a salad that combines fresh heirloom tomatoes, peppery arugula, white nectarines and sliced avocado. A bright, simple vinaigrette of extra virgin olive oil and white...
I made the salt cod for this dish by simply covering the cod fillets in sea salt and leaving to cure for 24 hours. But you could, of course use ready made salt cod.
Ingredients
300g salt cod, soaked in cold water, poached and shredded.
500g mashed potato
Oil for deep frying
2 roasted...

A lot of meals I make are designed to accommodate vegan and pescatarian and/or carnivores in the house. Starting off with a basic sauce and taking it in several directions is a good option. This is a straightforward sauce to make. You could add minced meat instead of the soya mince for a meat...
