The Tomato

By Our Readers / Photographs by Michael Piazza

For most of us, the end of the tomato season means the end of summer. Months will go by before we will be able to again enjoy the sublime taste experience that one gets biting into a just picked, perfectly ripe tomato.

Just before the peak of tomato season we reached out to our readers via social media and asked them to submit their favorite recipes for our 1st Annual Tomato Recipe Contest. The response was great and presented us with some incredible entries, but as stated in the rules, there could be only 5 winners (and one recipe so simple, we couldn’t resist sharing it.)

Thank you to all who participated.
