INTRODUCTION
T he history of the tomato is mired in controversy From the beginning people - photo 4
T he history of the tomato is mired in controversy. From the beginning people have wondered: Is it a fruit or a vegetable? Poison or miracle cure? Easy to grow or voracious weed? Deliciously natural fruit of the vine, or symbol of our high-tech future? As a major tomato cook (I was once reprimanded by an editor for using too many), even I have to agree with Ralph Waldo Emerson that the taste for tomatoes, eaten straight, is an acquired one. My first bite was taken on a dare as a young child and I was not immediately impressed. Once I started cooking, however, my feelings grew. Unlike any other fruit (or vegetable) except perhaps garlic and onions, tomatoes act as a seasoning. Chopped and added to soups, stews, and sauces, they lift the other flavors with their uncommon blend of acidity and sweetness, and make them sing just a little bit clearer and higher.

Eaten fresh off the vine, dressed simply with some good olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs, they are incomparable; pured into a soup they are heaven to look at and to taste. So whether you grow your own, buy them at the market, or receive them as a gift from a friend with a bountiful garden, seek out some delicious, fresh tomatoes next summer. Then dig in and enjoy!

Serve cold. S ERVES 6 TO 12 Choosing the BestLet your nose, and the calendar, be your guide when choosing tomatoes. Color is not a reliable indicator. Late summer produces the best, most sugary tomatoes. Look for smooth, unwrinkled skin without mold. Dont be too concerned about cracking at the stem end; it could mean vine-ripening.

Store tomatoes at room temperature, since cold deadens their taste. The flavor of tomatoes dissipates quickly20 minutes after cutting or chopping.
