the best bite
It seems that all my life I have heard folks bemoaning; 'tomatoes just don't taste the same as they used to'
We yearn for that 'backyard' flavour; when you would pick a ripe tomato from the vine and sink your teeth into its sunburnt flesh.
Any tomato bought out of season is a pale imitation; sprayed with gases to a impart a false blush.
The solution? Grow your own
The easier solution? Buy locally grown tomatoes in season.
And for your cooking through the rest of the year? Do what I've been doing for years; amp up the flavour of your sauces and dishes with a dollop of tomato paste!
I always have tomato paste in the pantry. Some cans for big-time sauces, a tube in the fridge and now, some sachets. I'm never caught short for a blushing beauty!
