The Heirloom Tomato

Amy Goldman has created an inspiring book centered on the world’s most beautiful fruit, the heirloom tomato. Amy adds detailed descriptions of the tomatoes themselves: “portraits” in both word and photograph of 200 heirloom tomatoes. This book combines the tomato’s history with expert growing tips, seed saving techniques, recipes, and seed sources. The book pays homage to many original members of Seed Savers Exchange who bred and introduced these wondrous fruits. Photographer Victor Schrager captures the beauty of the tomato with his sumptuous full color still lifes. Hardcover, 288 pages.
