heres something that went down well with my family:
steam some spinach until its soft, and then strain off any liquid, and mash up with a packet of feta cheese, and some basil leaves. plonk this in the bottom of an oven dish making a layer of at least 1 cm, better if more. then push whole cherry tomatoes into this layer, snuggled up next to each other, to make a tomato layer. spray with a little olive oil (I have one of those pump up oil spray things) and bung in an oven on gas mark 'some' until the tomatoes are just a little brown and one or two have burst.
yum.

That does sound good. I must grow cherry tomatoes next year. One time the teacher wanted to have a word with me after school (it happens all the time), but to my surprise she said "Your daughte ate more cherry tomatoes than I would have believed possible and she may be sick on the way home". 6-year-old daughter was indeed covered in tomato juice all over her face and shirt, but she wasn't sick at all. That girl really loves cherry tomatoes.

Chilli Garlic pasta
the best cherry tomato recipe I know is this one;
Take four big cloves of garlic and one or two chillies, chop finely, and gently saiute in lots of olive oil to bring out the taste but not crisp them, add about a punnet of cherry toms, up the heat slightly and wait for them to pop but not pulp
Meanwhile cook enough spaghetti for two
when the spaghetti's ready drain it, squish the tomatoes a bit so some juice oozes out, toss the spaghetti in the tomatoe-y oil mixture and serve.
