First, let's admit that there's nothing better than a ripe red tomato right off the vine. Then let's join Lee in the kitchen to make everything from aspic to ratatouille to vinaigrette with stops along the way for bread pudding and piperade pie and tomato souffle. Lee even shares ideas for getting double duty out of your tomatoes -- one day they're a centerpiece, the next, a salad.

Lee Bailey's Tomatoes -- it's as fresh, appealing, and real as the vine-ripened article.
