Peach season + recipe round-up

It’s peach season and I couldn’t be more excited – peaches are one of my favorite things to eat and cook.

There is something transportive about the scent of fresh peaches, taking you right back to the hot days and evenings of late summer here on the East Coast.

There is also something equally seductive about biting into a ripe peach or scooping up a gently baked warm peach together with a spoonful of cold, cold rich ice cream.

Here are some peach recipes, both sweet and savory, to make the most of the season.

Savory:

  1. Oh, delicious! Peach Melba for breakfast. Now we’re talking. 🙂 And I love the idea of peaches on a cheese sandwich. You’re so creative, Ksenia. Each of these makes my mouth water!

  2. This is the perfect post for right now. I have a bag of peaches in the fridge, though my partner may finish them before I get a chance to cook with them. The grilled cheese sandwich with peaches seems to be calling me especially.
