Good chefs can spot bargains and turn them into fabulous feasts...then there's me.

At just a quid, a big bag of decent quality tomatoes - probably over 3lbs of the things - seemed like great value at the Bull Ring open market on Saturday.

I proudly took them home, cut them in half, sprinkled on a little garlic, sugar and salt, splashed on a bit of red wine vinegar and annointed them with olive oil before slow-roasting them as I watched the racing on Channel Four, cursing when my selection staggered in last at Kempton.

The tomatoes smelled and looked wonderful when they emerged from the oven and I whizzed them in the food processor with a bit of water to create a rich, chunky sauce for pasta.
