Peach Cookbook: Beverages, Breakfast Treats, Appetizers, Soups, Salads, Entrees, Desserts

Sweet and succulent, peaches are America's favorite fruit. In Mimi's newest book of original recipes, peaches maintain their starring role in desserts, such as sumptuous peach ice cream, peach schnappy creme brule, and peach upside-down cake with rum cream. But the fruit adds new character depth to other dishes--buttermilk peach muffins or blackberry peach French toast for breakfast, peach bruschetta or chilled peach soup for an appetizer, and smoke-rubbed skirt steak with peach chive butter or spicy pork spareribs with peach glaze for a main course at dinner. A variety of recipes for beverages--from sparkling peach lemonade to peach crantini--are included as refreshing accompaniments.
