The Tomato Cookbook

Low in calories and almost devoid of fat, the
tomato is both healthful and nutritious. Amazingly, a single tomato contains 40
percent of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C and 20 percent of the
recommended daily allowance of vitamin A. Tomatoes are also high in potassium
and iron, but low in sodium. The Tomato Cookbook is devoted to
the tomato, one of the greatest culinary treasures in the world.
In this encyclopedia of tomato recipes, anyone can find an appealing recipe.
Roy F. Guste, Jr., has thoroughly presented the tomato in all its
preparations-beverages to entrees to deserts (yes, deserts). Sample from
Flaming Tomato Punch, Cold Tomato Mousse, Tomato Shrimp Remoulade, Tomato and
Eggplant Bisque, Tomatoes Stuffed with Chicken and Mushrooms, and Tomato Spice
Corn Muffins. Recipes from all over the world are presented, many of which are
"heart healthy."
Guste's experience with writing cookbooks shows here as each recipe is
presented crisply, yet with the right amount of detail. Sure to be a fun read
as well as a practical cookbook, tomato fans will rave and non-tomato lovers
will be sorely tempted.
