I love to pick tomatoes at the end of the day, when they're still warm from the sun.

With their bright color and fantastic balance of acidity and sweetness, tomatoes are a natural refresher and the perfect element for meals on warm and sultry days.

I love tomatoes, and they're so good for you.

It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato.

I have a love affair with tomatoes and corn. I remember them from my childhood. I only had them in the summer. They were extraordinary.

To grow a tomato or a pepper and prepare a meal from your labor and care is primordially satisfying.

I love judging food by its smell and feel and taste. The healthiest tomato isn't always the perfect one that's been covered in pesticides.

It's important to salt the tomatoes before draining them because that helps pull out the water. Fresh herbs, some garlic and pepper will also enhance the flavor.

You rarely get satisfaction sitting in an easy chair. If you work in a garden on the other hand, and it yields beautiful tomatoes, that's a good feeling.

For me, summer hasn't really started until tomatoes reappear in local farmers' markets.
