A few ideas for a favourite fruit (or vegetable)!
That whole ‘tomatoes are a fruit, not a vegetable’ thing has always been a bit of a brain-bender for me. I mean, I get the science behind it; botanically speaking a fruit is a ripened flower ovary and it contains seeds. By this definition, tomatoes, plums, zucchinis, and melons are all classified as fruits. Regardless of how you choose to classify them, tomatoes are delicious, nutritious and farmers’ markets across the land are bursting with them right now! Here’s a roundup of some of my favourite tomato recipes. I plan to make all of them this weekend! Just click on the titles below to access the recipes.
