ISBN: 9781784724115.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNamed one of the best cookbooks of the year by The Washington Post, The New Yorker, Rachel Ray Every Day, NPR and The Boston Globe.\n\nWhen Diana Henry was sixteen she started a menu notebook (an exercise book carefully covered in wrapping paper). Planning a menu is still her favorite part of cooking.\n\nMenus can create very different moods; they can take you places, from an afternoon at the seaside in Brittany to a sultry evening eating mezze in Istanbul. They also have to work as a meal that flows and as a group of dishes that the cook can manage without becoming totally stressed. The 24 menus and 100 recipes in this book reflect places Diana loves, and dishes that are real favorites.\n\nThe menus are introduced with personal essays in Dianas now well-known voice- about places or journeys or particular times and explain the choice of dishes. Each menu is a story in itself, but the recipes can also stand alone.\n\nThe title of the book refers to how Italians end a meal in the summer, when its too hot to cook. The host or hostess just puts a bowl of peaches on the table and offers glasses of chilled moscato (or even Marsala). Guests then slice their peach into the glass, before eating the slices and drinking the wine.\n\nThat says something very important about eating - simplicity and generosity and sometimes not cooking are what its about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mitchell Beazley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45793932312629,"sku":"ByrdShop_1784724114","price":43.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781784724115_97ad951c-e137-48b2-81bc-1d2cf7b58142_507b554b-76cc-4ba7-aeb3-4c560ea52033_e5f562ed-f27c-456a-b9aa-39afe5683845_e4d5d341-ec8a-45f9-8756-d590d6496b45.jpg?v=1792244969","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/how-to-eat-a-peach-menus-stories-and-places-9781784724115","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
