Never heard the baking soda tip before, but thanks for that. I’ll give it a go!

Lovely blog and lovely photographs! If it is any consolation, most commercially available tomatoes taste very bland here in Italy too, and your recipe sure looks delicious. Oh, and please don’t take this badly, but the correct spelling is “pappa al pomodoro”, and not “papa” (which means “pope”).

Thanks for sharing the recipe, can’t wait to give it a try. I just wanted to share an Italian secret with you. My family uses a little pinch of baking soda to neutralize the acid in tomato recipes, and it eliminates the need for sugar in your sauces.

Hi Dave,
No fear; not a professional (nor even a good) photographer. I use a lowel ego light + Olympus e410 camera on a tripod for my shots. I’m hoping to get better though!

You surprise me. As a newbie to the site (first sighting 27Mar09) going through the previous postings, I’ve been impressed by the framing and composition of your pictures. I was wondering if you were a professional photographer.

Well I guess it is similar, and originating in a similar area (Tuscany). I’m no expert on Italian cuisine (far from it) but if you’ve got delicious fresh tomatoes lying around then I can see many opportunities coming up for their use! Unfortunately no such luck here in the UK – most tomatoes taste very bland

Genius! It’s like a blended panzanella. Almost. Not quite, but still genius! All we need is a big spoon.

Hi Laila, I hope it is delicious – I certainly thought so. Luckily that’s not me being big headed, as this is an Italian classic!
