Sweet and Sour Heirloom Tomato Ice Cream, Presto
in search of an interesting, quick dessert recipe, I smooshed some sweet, juicy Tomatoes in with a great local-made vanilla Ice Cream with sapa & sumac.
Rice with Tomatoes
My mom would gussy up plain white rice with uncooked chopped tomatoes in their own juice, a comfort food that screamed "Summer!" to me way back then, and now this simple side dish calls the same message to my kids and grandkids. Choose a full-flavored old-fashioned variety of tomato of any color, not one that's been been bred to ship well, one that is dead-ripe but not soft, and preferably one that hasn't been chilled. Sometimes, if I'm putting on airs, I'll add chopped fresh basil, chives or thyme to the tomatoes, but I (we) much prefer it without the herbs. So simple, but satisfyingly good.
Italian Heirloom Salad
I use to know some very sweet Italian people in Dallas Texas many years ago and this was one of the dishes I learned to make from Momma Katrina where I spent many Happy hours cooking and eating in her kitchen.

Balsamic Tomato Salad
This recipe comes from my dad. It's such a classic salad, and I can honestly remember having it every summer. When we lived on the East Coast we grew our own tomatoes and cucumbers for the salad. Its so refreshing!
Sun-Dried Tomatoes in the Oven
Packing the sun-dried tomatoes by themselves in olive oil (no herbs added), make this oven-baked tomatoes recipe perfect with all kinds of dinner cuisines.
Sweet, Salty, Spicy
Whenever I think of heirloom tomatoes, I think of last year's local roadside vegetable and fruit stand that had a huge sign listing the available produce...including HERLOOM TOMATOES. (I have become a terrible speller myself...too much red wine?) This tomato recipe produces an intense sweet, salty, spicy tomato condiment that is delicious on sandwiches, salads or just as an side to the main course. Use all the ingredients somewhat lightly so as not to overshadow the luscious flavor of the fresh heirloom/herloom tomatoes.
Beets and Herbs Salad
Isn't it time to take a break from roasted beets with goat cheese? I thought so. This past weekend, I tossed beets, still warm, with sherry vinegar, Dijon and olive oil. The vinegar makes their sweetness sing; the mustard gives them grit. And a spray of chopped herbs -- basil, tarragon, chives and mint -- beckons the doubters.

For this Lacto Fermented Cabbage recipe it's important to use organic cabbage so you get the micro-organisms you need and you want slow growing varieties.
Basil and Chevre Baked Tomatoes
Years ago we had an appetizer at Hudson's on the Bend here in Austin that was an heirloom tomato stuffed with herbed goat cheese. We recreated it at home and make them often for a side dish with an abundance of our fresh garden tomatoes.

FRESH TOMATO-BASIL SAUCE "COOKED" BY THE SUN
Minimal is one of my favorite words on a hot summer day. That is when I pluck a few heirloom tomatoes from my garden and mix them with fresh basil also right out of the garden. The sun ripened tomatoes plucked out of their garden nests taste like they have continued ripening for maximum flavor . The basil, the only herb used, adds the starring flavor burst. Together they smell and taste like summer!
Rosemary courgette ribbons
This recipe reminds me of how great simple, uncomplicated recipes can be. What astounds me is how my insides feel when I eat 'pure', like a cool stream over shiny rocks on a sunny day - refreshing and invigorating. When we were done eating, my husband said, this was lovely with clean flavours! I'm paraphrasing here!
Bozena’s incredible summer squash soup
This is my aunt’s easy secret soup recipe. It feels so velvety, creamy and decadent yet it is healthy and simple to make. She lives in the South of France and tells me she uses any vegetable she finds in her garden to make this soup. I’ve been making it with organic zucchinis (green and yellow) and its been very successful!
Vinegar-glazed zucchini
A family friend made this when we visited her Tuscan villa, as part of a meal that also included wild arugula picked from the hillside, and oil and vinegar from her olives and grapes. Needless to say it’s never tastes quite as good in my plebeian kitchen, but it’s still pretty yummy!
The Simplest Cauliflower Soup (great chilled in summer!)
Seriously simple.
