Tomato Tips

• Irish tomatoes are at their best between May and October. • A member of the nightshade family (along with aubergines, peppers and chillies), the tomato is technically a berry. However, they go so well with savoury ingredients that they are usually classed as a vegetable.

• Look for firm tomatoes with wrinkle-free skins and a prevalent tomato smell.

• Tomatoes have the best, sweetest flavour if they've been allowed to ripen on the vine before they've been picked.

• Don't keep tomatoes in the fridge, as it destroys their flavour. They are much happier in the fruit bowl.
