Summer Splendor Recipes

No matter how you pronounce it, the word ‘tomato’ practically sings of summer, as well it should as the seasonal beauties are now at their best here in August. This week’s box pays homage to the ripe, juicy summer favorite with a selection of heirloom and rainbow slicing tomatoes, plus Pain au Levain bread, farm-fresh eggs, garden-grown herbs and an easy-drinking red wine, all to help you enjoy their vine-ripened glory. A wealth of summer produce ranging from summer squash to Romano beans, plus fresh-picked blueberries, finishes off this bright and beautiful lineup.

Here are a few recipe ideas for the week:
