On tomato explosions

Last year we had three tomato plants and ended up with all the tomatoes we could handle. It wasn't overwhelming, just about right. So this year we planted eight plants and joined a CSA, so we may have the things coming out the ears shortly. Stay tuned. In the meantime, I'm building a Maginot Line of recipes to stem the tide in advance (hopefully they don't just invade the through the Belgium endive and ruin the plan) of the imminent tomato season. This is one I plan on using shortly - and often.



Big Deal Chef Eric Ripert is putting one video a week on his stylish, inviting new website. So far everything he's covered - broiled fish filets, zucchini carpaccio - has been astonishingly simple and tasty. And cooked in a toaster oven. Check it out.
