Tomato Recipes

Browse our vibrant collection of tomato recipes – a true celebration of one of the most beloved and versatile ingredients in the kitchen. Whether you’re using fresh, sun-dried, tinned, or cherry tomatoes, this humble fruit adds rich flavour, colour, and nutritional value to countless dishes. From refreshing salads and comforting soups to hearty mains and savoury bakes, our recipes show just how much tomatoes can do.

Incredibly versatile, tomatoes are an essential cooking ingredient in many dishes and essential when creating tasty vegetarian and vegan recipes. Available all year round in supermarkets, they are at their best during the summer and autumn months. While many of us consider tomato to be a vegetable, it is in fact a fruit. Tomatoes can easily be grown at home in bags, raised beds or patio containers. If you decide to grow your own, it is worth trying to cultivate unusual varieties as tomatoes come in different shapes and colours. This article from BBC Gardener's World has some helpful suggestions.

What to make with tomatoes

Looking at vegetarian and vegan recipes, tomatoes are used raw, cooked or sun-dried in many dishes. Served with a vinaigrette or simply with a sprinkle of salt, tomato salad is a summer staple in our house, especially when we are staying in France. Baked, grilled, broiled, sautéed, stewed, fried, stuffed or sun-dried they are so many ways to cook tomatoes. They take centre stage in classic dishes such as tomato soups, gratins, ratatouille, vegetarian chillis, chutneys, bruschettas, Panzanella, pizzas etc..

Make sure to try my Heirloom Tomato Salad, Tomato Galette, Green Tomato Soup, Garlic & Tomato Pasta or Mediterranean Tomato Tart.

What pairs well with tomatoes

Whether it is herbs, beans, pulses, bread, cheese, courgette, aubergine, peppers, olives, tofu, spinach ... tomatoes goes pretty much with everything. If you grow your own make sure to check my 9 Easy Ways to Use All Those Garden Tomatoes where you will find recipe inspiration to make ketchup, chutney, salsa, tomato sauce, jam, tomato paste, sun-dried tomatoes or preserve them longer by freezing or canning them.
