About me: I collect cookbooks and love to cook and try new recipes. I tested recipes for Leite's Culinaria for almost eight years. I learned to cook from many good southern cooks including my Mom, Dad, several Aunts and my Grandmothers. My children and husband also like to cook and try new foods and recipes. My son still lives with us but our daughter is married. She often visits to cook with me. We are adventuresome eaters willing to try new things.

Lee Bailey's Tomatoes

By Lee Bailey
Clarkson Potter - 1992

February 5th, 2010

This is a small cookbook filled with great tomato recipes. There is 35 recipes included, everything from savory to sweet. Recipes for both ripe and green tomatoes and even a tomato sandwich. I grew up on tomato biscuits and tomato sandwiches in the summer. Still love them. If you need ideas to use up some garden tomatoes, then this is the book for you.
