Everyone knows that cooking with fresh fruits and vegetables (that are in-season) not only is a great way to stretch a buck, it is also the best way to produce flavorful dishes that will keep your family, friends, guests (whomever) asking for more. This time of year there are many wonderful selections: green and butter beans, cantaloupe, squash, okra, sweet potatoes, watermelon and peaches, to name a few. A quick visit to your local farmer's market, grocery store or fresh produce stand on the corner offers a bountiful harvest of in-season crops. Here, we focus on the versatile and ever-popular tomato. Used in many cuisines, tomato usually is used in conjunction with other fresh fruits and vegetables to make sauces, marinades, salads & so much more. In many dishes, the tasty tomato takes backstage to other flavors, but here we have tried to select recipes where they are up and in front...From cocktails to soups, these dishes are sure to be tasty treats that everyone will enjoy!
