Feel free to substitute the homespun variety in any recipe that stipulates shop - bought sunblush (though I'd use about half; the shop ones are heavier per tomato). Frankly, they're also wonderful eaten just as they are, with bread, cheese, or as a salad.
I also make them exactly the same way with large tomatoes, roughly chopped - glorious with tuna too. This makes a fabulous instant pasta sauce, too.

Nigella's Moonblush Tomatoes are the tastiest tomatoes I have EVER had!! I first tried them at a friends party in May and got "hooked". They beat all the sunblushed tomatoes in the shops and are delicious and so simple. PLEASE TRY THEM JUST ONCE and you will be hooked like me!! Thanks Nigella, JillyM

These are really lovely. I also made the tomato and goats cheese salad that the book suggests and it's incredible. The first time I made these they barely dried out at all and didn't look like the picture. The second time I left the oven turned on for 20 minutes before turning it off. They were perfect. In hindsight I think perhaps my tomatoes were on the large side. Make sure your cherry tomatoes are small or use Piccolo tomatoes.
