FRANK ASHTON CLASSIC ITALIAN AND ADDITIONAL RECIPES: My name is Frank Ashton and I live in the Cleveland Ohio area. I was a high school art teacher for 33 years. I love painting,especially Impressionism; and traveling with my wife; but my other love is for cooking. Over the years I have probably cooked for some 20,000 people. This includes cooking free for many groups to raise funds for worthy causes. Most of my recipes are original from me and some from my mother or my wife Dottie. This has led me to decide to share my original recipes with others. This site has 110 recipes to date! My goal is to be able to give real recipes that really are excellent. One should not expect anything exotic; but I will guarantee they will impress anyone who loves to eat. FIRST GO TO GOOGLE AND PRINT IN THE WHITE BOX FRANK ASHTON ORIGINAL RECIPES AND CLICK ON THAT.

* ITALIAN "BEST" TOMATO SALAD (#21)

This is one of those recipes that is so simple as well as delicious and a refreshing tasting summer salad that everyone who loves tomatoes directly from the vine every August will be impressed.  Whats more, it is just as good for two people or twenty or more!  Additionally if you can cut a tomato and do a little measuring you can make this salad.  I love it for large groups as it is also inexpensive especially if you grow your own tomatoes.

INGREDIENTS FOR A SMALL GROUP OF 4 TO 6 PEOPLE
    4 to 6 juicy fresh tomatoes cut in quarters
    1 medium yellow onion; peeled, cut in quarters, and sliced toward the thin side
    1/2 cup virgin olive oil (or even regular oil)
    2 tsp of of dry oregano
    1/2 tsp of salt
    1/2 tsp of pepper

DIRECTIONS:
    1.using a large ideally clear glass bowl pour all ingredients together; usually about an hour before cooking (that's it)
    2. before serving check for taste
    3. serves 4 to 6
    4. for 16 to 20 double the recipe
ENJOY
