There's never been a better time to stroll down to your local market or nearby supplier to scoop up some of these gorgeous, seasonal tomatoes.
From the vast array of colourful heirloom varieties - the thoroughbreds of tomatoes - to these brilliant red, lycopene rich, local cherry tomatoes - they are fragrant, fresh and bursting with flavour.
It won't be long before commercially produced tomatoes are shipped across the continent to find their way into our grocery stores, a mere shadow of their former selves; nutrient weakened, anemic looking and tasting somewhat like cardboard.
Take advantage of these bountiful beauties while you still can!
Slow-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes and Garlic with Herbed Ricotta & Balsamic
Drizzle tomatoes and garlic with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper (yum!).
Place tray in oven for approximately 1 hour (tossing the tomatoes/garlic around at least once if you can during that time) until tomatoes have softened and garlic takes on a chewy roasted texture.
