Cook's Illustrated Unframed Print: Cherry Tomatoes

Over the past 20 years, renowned illustrator John Burgoyne has produced more than 150 intricate, hand-drawn illustrations for Cook’s Illustrated magazine. Now, for the first time ever, America’s Test Kitchen is proud to partner with Mr. Burgoyne and offer a select number of fine art prints featuring this iconic artwork.

The origin of the cherry tomato is unclear—Greece, Peru, Mexico, and Israel all lay claim to it—but its worldwide popularity is undisputed, as more than 100 varieties are now grown. Among them, the Sun Gold tastes as vibrant as its color suggests, and its juice is syrupy and tangy. Pea-size and perfectly spherical, the Currant pops with sweetness that’s bright, nutty, and a touch smoky. The skin of the lush, soft Indigo Cherry Drop fades from dark red to purplish black, while the crisp, oblong Indigo Kumquat is golden with a purplish blush at the stem end. Streaky-looking and pointy at the tip, the Pink Tiger resembles a small shallot and is loaded with tart juice. Given the floral, lilac-like aroma of a Pink Cocktail, its flavor is surprisingly watery. Streaked with peach-pink tones, the Sunrise Bumblee Bee is plump, with supersweet juice and hints of raspberry. The Yellow Pear teardrop is meaty-textured and has tropical, low-acid juice.
