Tomatoes are at the heart of so many everyday dishes, whether that be a rich bolognaise, a curry or a pizza. So whether you're a newbie in the kitchen or an ambitious home cook, you're likely going to need to get to grips with using tomatoes in some form. With their new culinary tomatoes range, Heinz have made things easier and more accessible than ever before.

All made using the sun-ripened Italian tomatoes that Heinz are famous for, products in the range include the likes of tomato purée and chopped tomatoes for those wanting to cook completely from scratch, as well as ready-to-use tomato-based cooking sauces for those who might need a bit more of a helping hand. These range from a curry tomato base to a tomato and basil passata, all made from delicious, rich Heinz tomatoes.

We tasked renowned chefs Avinash Shashidhara and Helen Graham to create some exclusive recipes, showcasing the different ways in which Heinz's culinary tomato products can be used in the kitchen, as well as creating some recipes of our own in GBC Kitchen.
