    Recipe Introduction


    Tomatoes were grown by the Aztecs and Incas as early as 700 A.D. Seeds were taken
    back to Europe by explorers in the 1500's. They were called “Love Apples” in
    France, but were ignored in England as a food (they thought tomatoes were poisonous).
    Early colonists in the U.S. had the same idea. In 1812, Creoles in New Orleans started
    making tomato-based gumbos. By 1850, the tomato was being planted in home gardens
    all over America.
