As the title suggests tomatoes are the star of the show here. If like myslef you grow tomatoes and end up with a huge glut, this book is great. Although many of the recipes featured appear in other cookery books I own it's very useful to have them all in place. Some great ideas with good phography. Measurements are in cups and pounds, it would be nice if grams were also noted but no big deal really. Overall a good book, I will be buying a further copy for my sister as a gift.

As a country gardener who also cans and preserves my bounty, I’m always looking for new things to do with tomatoes. Every summer I load up my pantry with pints and quarts of tomato sauce, tomato juice, and chunk tomatoes. Recently I added marinara sauce, faux-Campbell’s soup, and ketchup to my repertoire, but I’m still craving more variety. And even with a pantry filled with tomatoey goodness, summertime is the season to indulge in meals created with fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes.

I have the bad habit of always growing too many tomatoes – as if that’s possible! Still, they all need to become something, and a book filled with new-to-me recipes is very welcome.

Don’t skip the introduction – here you’ll learn about the different varieties of tomatoes, and gain advice about cooking with tomatoes (both fresh AND canned). And then we dive right into the recipes, starting with a breakfast show-stopper called Shakshuka with Extra Veg. This North African dish can be made with easy to find ingredients. I was pleased to see that the very first recipe had me already planning my next shopping trip. I wondered what other treasures I’d find up ahead. As it turns out, I’ll also be making Enchilada Stacks with Chipotle Salsa soon – That recipe just pushes all my buttons.

There’s plenty of easy, friendly recipes for tomato-based dishes that should please both novices and long-time cooks as well, along with instructions for making any needful accompanying sauces. Often, the tomato *is* the sauce. However it works out, you’re given everything you need to make a fine meal, snack, soup, or appetizer. Instant Pot aficionados will find recipes for their beloved devices, too.

The food photography is excellent throughout the book. It’s quite warm, bright, and cheery, with backgrounds and objects that compliment the deep red tones of ripe tomatoes.

My thanks to author Joy Howard, Storey Publishing, and NetGalley for allowing me to read a digital advance review copy of this book. This review is my honest and unbiased opinion.

Tomato Love by Joy Howard is such a beautiful cookbook. This book has “44 Mouthwatering Recipes for Salads, Sauces, Stews, and More” and does not disappoint. I love sauces and the Romesco sauce is delicious! I cannot wait to try every one of these recipes. If you love tomatoes, get this cookbook!

***** I received an ARC from NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my honest review. *****

Being a lover of tomatoes I loved this little book of tomato recipes. Some of my all time favourite recipes and recipes I can make year round, this book really highlights what a versatile vegetable (or fruit!) it is.

The recipes are easy to understand and make, the ingredients are easily obtainable and the information given on the different types of tomatoes was impressive. I also liked that in the recipes the used fresh and/or tinned tomatoes which fits in with seasonality.

The photos are great and just flicking through it I got hungry. So now it is time to get in the kitchen and try some more of the recipes in this cute little tomato book.

Thank-you Storey Publishing, LLC and NetGalley for giving me a chance to get my hands on this before the release date in exchange for an honest review.

TOMATOES.
Wow, this cookbook was such a delight to read.
I loved the introduction to the different types of tomatoes along with the ways to use each type.
Be it fresh, canned ect. The recipes are very easy to follow and the photography is absolutely beautiful.
Whenever I review cookbook arcs I try to at least recreate one of the recipes. So right now I'm having such a hard time choosing one!

I can't wait to get my hands on a hardcopy for my shelf!

Wow! I wish I'd had this cookbook earlier in the summer. I had a huge crop of tomatoes this year and was quickly running out of ways to use them. Sadly, I only saw this book after the fact but it has certainly given me some ideas for next year. Every recipe in this book includes tomatoes! (Duh) I will admit there are some duds where the tomato is just thrown on top but that doesn't take away from the fact that all of these recipes look delicious. Honestly, the most interesting recipe to me was the Tomato Vinaigrette. I've never thought of using tomatoes that way before and hope this recipe can be a new one in the line of sauces I use at home.

I will post my review on Goodreads closer to the publication date and to any retailers.

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. It’s really well presented with great photographs and easy to follow recipes. Working my way through them and I’m really enjoying it. Highly recommend!

A fantastic book of recipes featuring tomatoes. I love tomatoes as well as the author obviously does, so I could not see any reason why a recipe book should not be devoted to them. So far I have not tried the recipes, but I have no doubt they are tasty, they certainly look tasty to me. Recommend. This book featuring tomato recipes is excellent.

This is a pretty straightforward recipe book.

There are some beautiful pictures, but not quite what I was expecting. While all the recipes have tomatoes in them, most of them aren't tomato-forward. There's a mix of pastries, soups, salads, and other foods and in some tomato is used to make a sauce or simmer with meat.

Overall an ok find.

A smashing cook book based around all forms of tomatoes. Mainly proper family meals although a few fancier offerings too. Tried the sun dried tomato scones and the husband liked them so much he asked if I would make them again SOON. Obviously American but these days we Brits are used to reading USA cookbooks and know about cups and cilantro. Definitely will be making other things maybe starting with the onion and tomato jam (yum).
