I know I’m a little late with the weather these last few days, but I find that it’s at the end of the summer that tomatoes are the best, because they are full of sun and flavor. It’s the period when I take advantage of it to make stuffed tomatoes that I freeze for the next months when it will be cooler and I’ll miss the summer, but it’s also the right time to prepare a good homemade tomato gazpacho that I love to accompany with a nice slice of country bread lightly rubbed with garlic and covered with a piece of burrata… Yum!
