>Crap year for tomatoes.

Heat wave in June and July (so everything hibernated)

Cold and wet in August (so nothing grew)

Really nice since then

So we’re a fair way behind the growing curve, they’ve stopped ripening and they don’t really taste like they should.

Frying pan, decent olive oil, tomatoes (red, yellow and cherry), sea salt, freshly ground pepper, a few sprigs of winter savoury.
Stew them until the juice is nicely thickened, sling them onto one of Nigel Lambert’s plates, top them off with some buffalo mik mozzarella stuffed with ricotta (quite excellent) and some (last of the Summer) basil.

Sit in the sun, look up at the cloudless sky and think: “Aren’t we lucky”
