I found a lot of green tomatoes at the farmers market last month and cooked this one Sunday afternoon.
I got a tip from a lady at the market to dip the tomato slices in flour, then egg, then the cornmeal. Your fingers turn into a breaded mess, but that’s what it takes. I always had the problem of the breading falling off as soon as the slices hit the oil.

I love food pictures. Wanted to take a class in how to take them. Although food really lends itself to great photos.
The tricky thing for me is lighting. My kitchen does not get any natural light, so I usually have to take my food outside to get a good photo. The overhead fluorescent light and incandescent range hood light just don’t make the food look very appealing. I have to remind myself to ignore the fact that I know that it tastes and smells good, and remember that what’s important is how it looks to a stranger seeing it on the web. Good luck, looking forward to seeing some of your creations!
Lighting is tricky, for sure. Luckily, I have great light in my kitchen. I always wanted to eat fried green tomatoes ever since I saw the movie with that name. But have never tasted them!!
They are great! Because they are green and unripened, they have a tangy flavor. Hope you get to taste or cook them someday!
Messy, but worth it 😀 I love fried green tomatoes and they look yummy Cynthia!
Thanks, they were great!
Mouth watering!!! Can I have some? I’m on my way over to see you, Cynthia.
Of course!! I made a big batch and they are keeping warm in the oven. See you soon 🙂
Thank you. 💕❤️💕❤️
Photographing food outside. Hmmm. I may have to try that. Love fried green tomatoes.
Taking my plates outside is best for me because of the layout of my apartment. I don’t have a table near the windows. I could move an end table or something, but it’s easier just to take the plate out on the balcony. I prefer natural light and that’s the laziest way for me to get it 😉
Looks great
Thanks, they were yummy!
