come as a healthy surprise to you, there now exist small, local health food stores that stock locally grown tomatoes in pretty much EVERY American community.
Would you argue fresh garlic is not superior to powdered?
That bargain pasta is equal to small producer Italian or locally fresh made?
That fresh basil triumphs over dried?
Nothing to argue about, really. If you can't tell the difference, fine. But it makes no sense to put fresh ingredients into a sauce of canned tomatoes. May as well save yourself the trouble and expense and be consistent.
You tinear are a total ass. If you took the time to read my profile you would see I am a professional chef. When cooking at home I use the freshest best ingredients I can find and if I can't I change my menu. If you knew any thing about cooking using a good canned tomato is an acceptable and often time a better choice than store bought. I don't know what you read in my post that led you to believe that I use powder garlic and cheap pasta I don't but if you would like a cooking lesson I charge $30.00 per hour.

... He has probably read 2 or 3 cookbooks so obviously he knows more about cooking than any chef in the world! (In his own dimension at least)
Ignore tin but keep posting about yummy food, please :)

Thanks sox I will keep posting but to use a metaphor, you can only stand so much irritating buzzing around you head before you swat at the pest. It is usually those that know the least that speak the loudest.

lots of heirlooms in jars in the summer. That way we have them year round.
is NOT a fresh tomato. There is no substitute for a heirloom that is picked out of the garden and that is still warm from the sun which ripened it . No picking them green and shipping them green and days or weeks later they ripen in a bin...ugggh
Exactly why I use a good canned tomato the store bought don't have any flavor the canned one are vine ripened. If I had a garden I would grow my own tomatoes and basil and make my sauce from produce I picked that day.

we have several heirlooms in our hot house...My MD tells me to not eat so many because of the potassium, I tell her I do not care!
Fresh heirlooms of various colors and tastes with fresh basil and Buffalo Mozzarella...our Mozzarella comes from Salerno. The best olive oil you can afford...
Bread and cheese and wine...
fresh tomato, buff. Mozzarella, basil salad. Other variation, she makes a shit load of fresh basil pesto every year and will use some of that as well.

I am sorry to report that my basil plant passed away this past week when the temp got down to 25. Oops - forgot to bring it in! Ya know, I'm really getting sick and tired of the weather reporters "reminding" ad nauseum of the "three Ps": Pets, Pipes, and Plants. If I don't have the brains to bring my basil in...
