Tomato time!
This time of year, our farmers markets are full of red, purple, yellow and orange tomatoes — from pint-sized Sungolds to heirlooms to other more robust varieties for sauces. Since this summer's bounty will only be around for a few more weeks, you'd better stock your pantry now.
By Evan Kleiman • • 1 min readThis time of year, our farmers markets are full of red, purple, yellow and orange tomatoes — from pint-sized Sungolds to heirlooms to other more robust varieties for sauces. Since this summer's bounty will only be around for a few more weeks, you'd better stock your pantry now. At the Santa Monica Farmers' Market, Holly Jivin, the chef de cuisine at The Bazaar in Hollywood, explains what makes her a tomato purist, and farmer Pernille Carpenter, of Coastal Organics in Santa Paula, tells us about the love, blood, sweat and tears that he sows into each year's crop.
