August has been a Pyrrhic victory of a month. I’ve achieved a lot on the small battles front, but I have the feeling that the greater war has yet to be won. Or – more accurately – the small achievements are compensation for the lost war. But something I’ve noticed in all of this is my propensity to use food as a crutch. Cooking it and writing about it. And that’s just fine by me…
So, this month, we’re using cheery, bright red, vitamin-filled tomatoes. Positive food.
Last night, I made a tomato tarte tatin, based loosely on Simon Rimmer’s version. Only I didn’t really pay attention to the quantities (except for the anchovies, which I should’ve doubled) and I threw in a couple of red onions and a few sprigs of thyme for good measure.
