How to Eat a Peach
224 pages, 2018
Diana Henry wrote her first menu while she was in high school. Menu planning is still her favorite part of cooking. Menus can create very different moods; they can take you to different 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.
Diana Henry loves writing about food and has written for numerous newspapers and magazines in Great Britain and the United States (including Bon Appetit) about dining out or cooking at home or on vacation. She lives with her family near Bath, England. The 24 menus and 100 recipes in this book reflect places Diana loves, and dishes that are real favorites. Each menu is a story in itself, but the recipes can also stand alone.
In 'How to Eat a Peach', Diana Henry shows us that planning a menu is an art. She encourages us to consider the season, the occasion, and the guests when deciding what to cook. It's not just about the food, but the whole experience.
Henry emphasizes the importance of cooking with the seasons. She believes that food tastes best when it's in season and encourages us to explore local farmers' markets to find the freshest ingredients. This book will inspire you to look at seasonal produce in a new light.
One of the most exciting aspects of 'How to Eat a Peach' is how it takes you on a culinary journey around the world. From the comfort of your kitchen, you can explore different cultures and cuisines. It's a great way to travel without leaving home.
Henry reminds us that food is meant to be shared. Whether it's a simple meal with family or a lavish dinner party, she believes that food brings people together. This book will inspire you to invite friends over and share a meal.
In 'How to Eat a Peach', presentation is just as important as the food itself. Henry shows us that the way food is presented can enhance the dining experience. From the table setting to the plating, every detail matters.
