Tomato Jam
OF COURSE I made tomato jam. How could I call my blog “talk of tomatoes” and not always be experimenting with my namesake food? And since small-batch preserves are increasingly a part of my kitchen experience: tomatoes were on the short list of ‘things to can.’
I adore it. I took/cut/pasted and slightly adopted… [more]
Yellow Tomato Jam… because I can!
Ha all puns aside. Though Seattle’s summer has felt a bit wintry, my Sungolds have remained a cheerful beam in my garden. Hoards of tiny orange globes dangle in my tomato jungle, and I just picked a ‘bushel-full’. I am admittedly giddy (since they cost $4 a pint at neighborhood farmer markets); these homegrown little gems—all jammed up—will be a welcome addition to my pantry shelves.
Because I am in the midst of… [more]
August: urban farm update.
It seems summer is making an appearance in Seattle: finally. My squash and tomatoes are soaking up each ray (ahem: and so am I). Will my tomatoes turn red? It remains to be seen… at least the bite- size Sungolds offer a seasonal amuse bouche. I eat a few each day, while smiling and watering herbs, just-sprouting spinach and tomatoes—and plucking struggling leaves and tiny weeds.
I have climbing… [more]
Talk of Pomodori
As I write this, I am days from leaving… yet when this posts goes live I will have been gone for a few weeks.
We (family of four) packed up our lives and [when you read this] are cycling across the Netherlands, parts of Belgium, a smidgen of Germany and into Paris. We made the big decision to go for a year abroad, to check out of our American lives… [more]
Amy Goldman: The Heirloom Tomato
It has taken me a few weeks time to muster up the courage to write about this very book. For no other reason than the fact that it is my blog’s namesake. It is like commenting on fashion after reading the annals of Vogue, or sharing your thoughts on politics to the nearest, listening governor. Even better, it is being a backseat driver (we are talking caboose) or being… [more]
Slow Roasted Romas
Slow roasted romas are so easy to make, so far in advance, and so beautiful going in and out of the oven. I like to make these oven-roasted Roma tomatoes to serve with rich dishes including pasta, soup or quiche. They happily sit next to eggs, on morning toast or in the middle of a noon-time sandwich. Last time I made these, I served them with homemade, oven-baked, paprika-topped… [more]
tomato sauce
It has been too long since I talked about tomatoes. My folks-in-law came over the other day bearing a pile of tomatoes from their garden. Drippingly sweet, these little gems have adorned plate after plate for 3 days and running. I have enjoyed them with mozzarella, poached eggs and rosemary toast. Tomorrow they will top quiche and nachos, and who knows about the next day!?
But I am talking tomatoes… [more]

It is true, the tomatoes turned out like CANDY. It was all I could do not to throw them on ice cream and gobble them down (okay, that might be gross—but you get the idea). The BBQ is an amazing thing: turning my garden tomatoes into sweeter than sweet gems to plop… [more]
