'Show British Tomatoes some love this season ..'

Did you know that British Tomato Fortnight takes place this month? Me neither to my shame. 

It runs from 2nd until 15th June & marks the peak season here in the UK.

The reason I am now aware is that I was gifted a variety of wonderful gems just today at work by the British Tomato Growers Association whose slogan it is I began with.

The box of delights arrived at work for colleagues & I got to share the unexpected bounty - how lucky.

It's time to start looking at what dishes I can use them in over the coming days.

In the meantime, the advice from the BTGA is as follows .. 

'Keep these toms out of the fridge, as fridges do flavours no favours. Store in a cool, dry place.'

What to try then? Fresh .. roasted .. sliced?

I shall report back. 

Homegrown tomatoes? Heroes indeed.
