My local chef and food writer Claire Thomson published her latest book ” Tomato” last month and as always I have found so many recipes I want make . The chapter on salads has many good ideas for the unprecedented hot weather we are currently experiencing and this simple and refreshing salad is the first recipe I tried.
I recently had some of the best fresh crab i had eaten in Bridlington, Yorkshire but Cornish crab is equally good. Fresh crab is at its very best from April to October and this recipe from ” Sea and Shore” by Emily Scott is a simple but delicious way to serve it.
A delicious side from Claire Thomson’s excellent ” Home Cookery Year”. Use the ripest tomatoes or you can use two 400g cans of drained plum tomatoes as an alternative. Serve warm or at room temperature.
This is the first recipe i cooked from Claire Thomson’s eagerly awaited ” Home Cookery Year” which came out earlier this month. The book is divided into seasons so i am busy working my way through autumn recipes . Watch this space for a few more….
