Needless to say this is all about the tomatoes; you can buy them all year round but often they have little flavor, are insipid and watery and don’t have anything of interest about them. Heritage varieties are popular at the minute and can have good depth and texture.
The summer months (from June) see the sweeter tomatoes coming in such as plum vine, marmonde and cherry but you’ll also get early tomatoes such as the Isle of Whyte grown varieties in April and May.
I like a selection of tomatoes in a salad- colours and shapes but also textures and sweetness/acidity- green tomatoes are firm crunchy and quite sharp but great alongside some super sweet cherry wine tomatoes.
