    Sweet and succulent, peaches are America's favorite fruit. In this book of original recipes, peaches maintain their starring role in desserts, such as Sumptuous Peach Ice Cream, Peach Schnappy Crème Brûlée, and Peach Upside-Down Cake with Rum Cream. But the fruit adds new character depth to other dishes--Buttermilk Peach Muffins and Blackberry Peach French Toast for breakfast, Peach Bruschetta and Chilled Peach Soup as appetizers, and Smoke-Rubbed Skirt Steak with Peach Chive Butter and Spicy Pork Spareribs with Peach Glaze as main courses at dinner. A variety of recipes for beverages--from Sparkling Peach Lemonade to Peach Crantini--are included as refreshing accompaniments.

      About the Author

      Preface

      Peaches are many people’s favorite fruit, and it’s easy to understand why. Sweet and succulent, these creamy, fleshed globes send juices dribbling down the chin and douse the fingers with sticky nectar. Their intense sweet smell indicates ripeness and flavor, which are at their peak freshly picked at roadside stands in the heat of summer.

      Peaches augment the shape, texture, and taste of any preparation, so it was an easy task choosing peaches as the main ingredient for this book. They lend themselves to a wealth of recipes even more so than the star of my last book, mushrooms. (Mushrooms fall short in the dessert category.)

      When writing up a recipe, I always keep the home cook in mind. If the recipe is not easy to follow, who needs it? After honing my recipe development skills in the test kitchens of Food & Wine magazine and Woman’s World, I savored the idea of experimenting in my own kitchen, creating a wide range of recipes.

      When I’m in my cooking domain, I jot down ideas, think up ingredients that work well together, and figure out whether certain combinations are right together. Seasonings and herbs are the pièce de résistance, which give the dish its final nod of approval.

      In this book, peaches maintain their starring dessert role and also find new character depth in beverages, breakfast items, appetizers, entrées, soups, and salads, lending themselves to myriad preparations and creations. Their succulent nature perks up classic guacamole with chunky sweetness. They give a candylike element to tangy barbecue sauce and punctuate leeks and prosciutto in a side dish. Peach chive butter seeps in and downplays the heat of the meat in a spicy skirt steak recipe, and chopped fresh peaches pump up a pesto penne pasta dish.

      Classic desserts such as peach melba and crème brûlée are served up with a peach twist from tradition. The melba can be made the authentic way by poaching the peaches, or by grilling peach halves, which increases their sugary intensity. Crème brûlée gets an added kick with a splash of peach schnapps permeating this silky custard.

      Make your meals more sumptuous and inviting with these peach-enhanced recipes. Everyone’s favorite fruit is now ripe for these inventive dishes.

      There are a few people I would like to acknowledge for their parts in making this book a reality. First and foremost, I thank Kyle Weaver, editor at Stackpole Books, for giving me the opportunity to write my second cookbook. I am also grateful to Alan Wycheck, who did an excellent job of photographing every recipe. He went beyond the call of duty by sampling each peach concoction too. Thanks also to my sisters Penny Hannegan, Lisa Whitlock, and their families, for tasting some preliminary recipes and offering feedback.
