In reply to Carly. Thanks so much for the recommendation! We're on Shelter Island for the weekend, and the book just arrived in NYC. I can't wait to look through it on Monday when we get home. I'll try the mini cheesecakes next week. I also want to try the tomato tart.

When you get the book, you must try the “Miniature Cheesecakes” on page 133. They were my staple snacks for my grandson’s kindergarten carpooling. I always added some kind of seasonal fruit topping — the kids loved them.

In my opinion, it’s definitely worth having in your collection. When I can’t find a recipe on line, it’s one of my two “go to” books — the other one is a collection of recipes from our hometown in central California, called “Friends & Memories”.

Hi Carly,

Thanks for the tip about “Peggy’s Tomato Tart”. Do you think the cookbook is worth picking up? I found the table of contents online and I loved the names of the chapters. Two of my favorites are Pi and other Confections (Desserts), and Nanosecond Meals (Desperation).

Hi Diane — I, too, love making tomato pies in the summer. My absolutely favorite recipe is “Peggy’s Tomato Tart” on page 35 of “What’s Cooking Under the Dome”, the cookbook published by the MIT Women’s League in 1996. It’s super yummy and easy to make. All your recipe ideas are wonderful!
