Super easy to make, but tastes and looks just like it came from a restaurant! 2 fresh tomato sauce recipes that are great for entertaining guests

Hello everyone. I am Ayumi Nakaganji, a chef.

How are you feeling? The heatwaves have been so intense I wonder what's going on... I want to drink lots of fluids and be careful not to get heatstroke.

This time, I'd like to introduce you to a recipe using tomatoes.

Tomatoes are high in water and minerals such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium, which are easily washed away by sweat, making them the perfect food for this season when we sweat a lot. (*1)

Furthermore, it has the effect of cooling down the body when it is heated up by the heat and stimulating the appetite, making it perfect for preventing summer fatigue.
