Kitchen Princess is a manga by Natsumi Ando and Miyuki Kobayashi in which every chapter is named after a dish. This is our own quick, family-friendly version of that dish, not the recipe from the book.
Bruschetta comes from Italy, where it started as a way to use up day-old bread. Ripe summer tomatoes make all the difference.
Make it a learning moment: is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable? It grows from a flower and holds seeds, so scientists call it a fruit.
