Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Peach-mint lassi

    • TrishaCP on September 14, 2017

      This was tasty. The mint adds a nice little pop to this, and I was happy to find another use for those huge peaches that we have been getting lately.

  • Mustard-peach glazed chicken

    • lkgrover on July 13, 2023

      Delicious chicken with peach-mustard sauce/glaze. I used commercial peach jam instead of the book's recipe. Then did not strain the larger pieces from the peach-mustard mix, so it was a chunky sauce instead of a glaze. This recipe would also be excellent on pork chops.

  • Peach-tomato salsa

    • scparks on May 18, 2024

      I LOVE peaches and love this book. To this fine recipe I added Mango and not having jalapeno peppers on hand, I added diced green chiles from a can. Still tasty.

The Masumoto family’s amazing heirloom peaches—which are available for a few weeks each year at the best produce markets and top restaurants in the country—are widely considered the best peaches in the world. Their debut cookbook gathers the family’s favorite recipes, from classics like Hearty Peach Cobbler, Peach Chutney, and Slow-Cooked Pork Tacos to inspired combinations such as Prosciutto-Wrapped Peaches, Caprese with Peaches, Spice-Rubbed Pork Chops and Grilled Peaches, and Stuffed French Toast. And the pristine flavor of a just-picked summer peach can be enjoyed year-round with the easy-to-follow instructions for drying, canning, freezing, or jamming the best of the harvest. 
 
With rich recipe and location photographs fresh from the orchard, this beautiful cookbook paints an intricate portrait of an organic farm that has been in the family for four generations. Accompanied by eloquent essays that evoke the soul of family farming and the nuances of a life filled with peaches, The Perfect Peach is for anyone who longs to savor the flavor of a pristinely ripe peach.
