Tired of the same old tomatoes? Then unleash your inner tomato lover with Tomato Ancient Seeds!
New tomato varieties and recipes with lots of dishes!
I'm a huge tomato fan – I've grown tons of 'em over the years. And you know, there are just so many different kinds out there.
So, I decided to make a mod with a few of my personal favorites, plus one that's totally made up (for now, anyway!).
You'll find some famous varieties in there, and I've also included four special Italian ones.
The cool thing is, you can grow these bad boys all year round. In addition to summer, you can also grow certain varieties in spring, autumn, and winter.
Oh, and I didn't stop there! I've also whipped up some brand-new recipes that use these awesome tomatoes.
Think delicious Italian dishes, and even a few sweet treats.
Just a heads-up: you'll need the Cornucopia More Crops and Cornucopia Artisan Machines mods for some of the extra veggies and spices in those recipes.
So make sure to grab those too!

There are 19 new tomato varieties to plant throughout the 4 seasons. You can find the seeds at Pierre's Shop.

There are 62 new recipes, some of which you can buy right away, while others become available during events, with certain friendship levels with the villagers, at specific times of the year, or after certain years of playing.
And there are three items that you can buy in the shops.
Some of the recipes you'll find are typically Italian. For example, Ligurian polpettone is a vegetarian dish, with potatoes and green beans.
Pizzoccheri della Valtellina are buckwheat tagliatelle dressed with potatoes, spinach, butter, and the typical cheese of the region, Bitto.
Peperonata is a mixture of bell peppers cooked with tomato sauce.
The bottle of water is used to prepare the yeast. The Natural Whey, is for the production of cheeses. Except for pecorino, which you will have to buy.
Everything is done in the kitchen, no machinery or anything else is needed, just buy the recipe.
If you have the Mod The Love of Cooking, it will make it easier to see the quantities and ingredients.

ART CREDITS
To create my mod, I used free resources from talented pixel art artists. I'm still learning to draw in pixel style, so some graphics won't be very good...
