    Seafood Pasta with Heirloom Tomato Fra Diavolo Sauce p 84: This recipe really had 2 flavors. Tomato and Red Pepper Flakes. The sauce was really thin as well. If you just want to celebrate the taste of tomato, cut the pepper flakes in half and go for it. If you want a good Seafood Fra Diavolo recipe, I think there are better options out there.

Publishers Text

Whether you say to-may-to or you say to-mah-to, chances are you'll agree there's nothing like the taste of a sun-ripened heirloom tomato - and this beautifully photographed book is a cornucopia for the tomato lover. First there are the recipes: 50 in all, provided by such notable food names as One Market, Caprial's Bistro, Jimtown Store, and DaVero Olive Oil. Perfect for brunch, cocktails, or dinner, tomatoes are showcased in such delicious dishes as Gazpacho with Cucumber Salsa Verde, Cheese and Pesto Fondue with Tomato-Foccacia Skewers, and Grilled Sea Bass with Lemon-Oregano, Tomato Relish.

Accompanying each is a wine pairing suggested by Kendall-Jackson, which each year hosts the Heirloom Tomato Festival in Sonoma - the inspiration for this book. Then there's the photographic glossary of the top 25 heirloom varieties, detailed cultivation information, and an invaluable sourcelist of seeds and plants to entice those who want to eat their fruit and grow it too. Add to this, advice on choosing and storing tomatoes and a brief history, and you have a book as vibrant as the tomato it celebrates.
