Menu for Hope V Raffle: Autographed book by Amy Goldman

Want to win an autographed copy of “The Heirloom Tomato : From Garden to Table” by Amy Goldman?

heirloom tomato book

Amy Goldman, author of the beautifully done books “The Compleat Squash” and “Melons for the Passionate Grower” finally came out with a book to please every tomato lover. “The Heirloom Tomato” is an encyclopedia of information on hundreds of varieties of (you guessed it) heirloom tomatoes. But beyond just information and recipes, this book features the delicious photographic artwork of Victor Schrager.  We were fortunate to meet Amy in person when we attended the TomatoFest in Carmel Valley back in September, where we got her to autograph a copy of her book. And we’re giving it away to one lucky winner!

Of course, what good is an heirloom tomato book without any heirloom tomatoes to grow and cook? So, IN ADDITION to the book, Annie will help the winner choose seeds of 10 varieties of tomatoes out of Annie’s library of over 200 heirloom tomatoes. Annie will mail seed packets of these varieties out to the winner along with the cookbook in January.

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!
