Tomato roundup

This collection of gorgeous tomato photographs is not exhaustive of all the tomatoes and tomato recipes I’ve seen out there, as with summer coming to a close, tons of great chefs are scurrying to use up their homegrown heirloom tomatoes yielding too many recipes to post. So, with that said, enjoy this collection of plain but beautiful tomatoes…in the flesh.

Jennifer from Last Night’s Dinner has definitely gone through some Tomato Mania lately.
She (Jennifer) not only used the above tomatoes for her delicious-looking pasta dish, but used the below tomatoes for her tomato tarts in her post entitled Tarted Up.
And then, there is Maki from Just Hungry who interpreted heirloom tomatoes a little bit differently in her post entitled Tomato deconstructed: Tomato gelee and tomato coulis. Here you can see a jelly and coulis topping solely made from a couple of heirloom tomatoes:
