Most
people believe that yellow, white and pink tomatoes are low in
acidity. That's not the case. A lot of misinformation has been
printed in the popular press about "low acid"
tomatoes referring to those with a sweet, non-tart
taste. The higher sugar content actually masks the
acidic flavour. Since all tomatoes are high in acid, Gina adds sugar to her
tomato
sauce.

Hi
Gina!
I just wanted to tell you that my mom made your Manicotti and
Caesar Salad on the weekend, and I made the Italian Wedding
Soup. It was
unbelievably delectable! My kids loved
the soup so much that Zayne had 3 bowls. We are looking
forward to trying more!
Thanks for the great recipes!
