Agree with you Molly. Glad I stumbled upon your blog as I was writing my recipe, as well as the history behind pappa al pomodoro. I ended up using a similar recipe to yours from an italian website.

Also added a glug of white wine just before the tomatoes. Fantastic. Thank you so much for this recipe–it's really killer.

OH. Ohhhhhh…! Comfort in a cup. Comfort in 3 cups in a row… and now…*gone*. thank you and thank goodness for this recipe.

You know, I <>was<> wearing fishnets through this entire wind-battling exercise, so I suppose that counts for something. Still, it wasn’t one of my finer moments. But pappa al pomodoro certainly was!Gina Louise, I am horrendously jealous of you, what with all that French yogurt you’ve got on hand–not to mention the fact that <>you live in Lyon<>! Sigh. But say, have you tried Mamie Nova yogurt? It comes in a little paper cup rather than a cute glass container, but it makes up in flavor (rhubarb! pistachio!) what it lacks in presentation.S’kat, this may well be just the dish for you, and at just the right moment. And as for public transportation, yes, I certainly appreciate it, but there are days when I just want my car, silence, and garage-to-garage transport…Teri, thank you! Lovely to meet you. Foodiechickie, your comment made my morning! Magazines, cookbooks, and the like? That’s the dream, m’dear.Amy, I’m so sorry to torture you once again! In the future, maybe you should only visit when you’re having fika? Preempt the suffering, you know?Dawna, that’s exactly it!Carol, I just hopped over to Celadon Cupcake, and I see that you’ve been dining at Zuni recently! I’m very, very jealous. I make their roasted chicken all the time–the <>best<> method–but I have yet to do the accompanying bread salad. It sounds astoundingly good. It may be next on the docket…Nwsjournalism, if you do try it with gluten-free bread, please let me know what you think. I’d be curious to hear how it turns out, since g-f breads have such a different texture and flavor from wheat-based breads. Good luck!Jason, let’s see what I can cram in a nutshell. I come from a very food-centric family: my mother is a great home cook and baker; my father was a wonderful, fly-by-the-seat-of-the-pants cook; one of my half-brothers went to the Culinary Institute of America and now owns four restaurants; my other half-brother is a great home cook; and my half-sister is a terrific home cook and baker as well. I grew up sitting down to dinner every night with my parents (my half-siblings are older, and were thus already out of the house), and holidays were and are days for huddling around the kitchen. So I grew up knowing that food was important, although it didn’t really hit home until I was 17 or so, when I had a personal food epiphany of sorts over breakfast at a b&b in Maine. That breakfast lit the fire, so to speak. [Speaking of which, I wrote an essay shortly after that fateful morning; I may have to pull it out of the ole dustbin!] At any rate, in the past ten years, I’ve worked for a caterer, interned at Greens Restaurant in San Francisco, and worked at Whole Foods, and I’ve eaten, read, and cooked a lot. And of course, I still do. So there you have it: a life, as told through food…Michele, I agree completely. Miam, miam indeed!Rachael, the Zuni cookbook is wonderful, isn’t it? Some of the recipes are a tad labor-intensive, to say the least, but it’s all such rustic, lusty, beautifully balanced food. And I love the intimate feeling of Judy Rodgers’ detailed, step-by-step instructions. Now, get to work with those tomatoes…

I am so glad I bought tomatoes at the market yesterday too….

Or as the French say: Miam Miam. ‘Nuff said.

How wonderful on a rainy night to have a rich, tomato-fresh-off-the-vine bowl of goodness. I’m going to have to try this with gluten-free bread.

We just got a bunch of tomatoes in our CSA box so I may try this recipe soon. Thanks!
