Nothing's ever going to match farm-fresh tomatoes -- not hothouse, not canned, nothing. But I do think that for sauce, stew-y dishes, the fire-roasted canned tomatoes do the trick during the 10 months a year that aren't part of tomato season.

Fabulous for cooking? Maybe in a stew.

I have yet to see one that does, but that's simply my experience. Besides, the canned tomatoes? Fabulous for cooking. Obviously not for salad!

I buy Romas all year long, choosing ones that are orange and firm, then letting them slowly turn red in a 3-tiered wire basket hanging in the kitchen. They're not perfect, but we need chopped tomatoes for our thin corn tortillas, and prefer eating lots of 'only okay' tomatoes rather than waiting for the homegrown ones. Of course, we don't have that midwest-type tomato glut to anticipate. Our tomato season consists of two short windows in spring and fall, so they're not a crop, more like a hobby.
