• Late summer has blessed our Peconic Dish columnist, Alison Boyd-Savage, with a bumper crop of cherry tomatoes, which look set to fruit well into the fall. These little nuggets of sweetness are such a joy, and so much easier to grow than heirlooms or beefsteaks. They are good in a simple sauce, flavored with good olive oil, garlic and basil, tossed into spaghetti. Get the recipe in our sister publication, the Peconic Dish.
