Summer tomatoes: perfectly Perino

Tomatoes are the taste of summer. Enjoy them in myriad ways and in all their colourful glory, plus help the Kitchen Garden Program: from 1 to 28 February 2023, 5 cents from the purchase of every red or gold Perino tomato pack sold at Coles will be donated to the Kitchen Garden Foundation, to a maximum of $100,000.

For inspiration on how to use yours, check out these video recipes from Stephanie Alexander and Coles ambassadors Courtney Roulston and Brent Draper:

• Stephanie Alexander’s Tomato and Rosemary Focaccia – Perino tomatoes pair perfectly with rosemary, adding a juicy pop of sweetness. 
• Courtney Roulston’s Blistered Tomato Salad – an instant summer staple.
• Brent Draper's Ricotta Dumplings – creamy spinach dumplings swimming in a tangy tomato sauce.
