Fannie Farmer's The Boston Cooking School Cookbook is THE classic American cookbook. It was always within reach in my mom's kitchen when I was growing up, its yellowed pages delicate and frayed from frequent use. If my mom said, "Go get Fannie Farmer," I knew exactly what she meant. So when I decided to do a cookbook challenge blog, cooking 365 recipes in a year, it was only natural that I looked to Fannie. Her many basic recipes make it a perfect fit for someone just learning to cook.

Red and Green Tomato Salad
I made this recipe 3 or 4 times this year, since I had a lot of green tomatoes to use up. I really enjoyed it, although a few people I served it to were less than enthusiastic. It is a bit on the tart side, but a good way to use green tomatoes and very pretty!
Ingredients:
2 large very ripe red tomatoes
2 large green tomatoes
1 small red onion
1 red pepper, chopped (optional)
1 recipe French dressing
Instructions:
Slice or chop red and green tomatoes
Thinly slice red onion and add to tomatoes (I sliced it once and chopped finely the next time)
Add French dressing and chill for several hours before serving
I added orange bell peppers because I had them the last time I made it, and they looked really pretty in it.
