Description

How to Eat a Peach is not simply a cookbook; it is a journey through time and place, guided by one of the UK's most beloved food writers, Diana Henry. Starting from her teenage years, when she meticulously compiled a menu notebook wrapped in decorative paper, Diana has always seen menu creation as a form of art. This richly personal collection of menus and recipes offers more than just practical meal planning – it evokes the essence of different seasons and the spirit of far-off locales.

With each menu, Diana takes us on an evocative culinary adventure. From a sun-drenched afternoon enjoying seafood on the coast of Brittany to an aromatic, spice-filled evening in Istanbul, her menus transport you, allowing you to experience the cuisines, atmospheres, and cultures of various destinations without leaving your kitchen.

What sets this book apart is Diana's exquisite ability to weave narratives through her menus, creating moods and settings that resonate deeply with readers. Her passion for seasonal ingredients and her unique approach to flavour pairings make each menu a meticulous orchestration of taste and texture. This isn't just eating; it's celebrating life through food.

"This is an extraordinary piece of food writing, pitch perfect in every way. I couldn't love anyone who didn't love this book." - Nigella Lawson

"...her best yet... superb menus evoking place and occasion with consummate elegance" - Financial Times

How to Eat a Peach showcases many of Diana's most cherished dishes, thoughtfully arranged into menus designed to guide you throughout the year. Whether you're seeking inspiration for a cosy winter feast or a light summer picnic, Diana provides a delightful array of recipes that reflect her extraordinary skill and creativity.

In its pages, you'll discover how thoughtfully composed menus can elevate an ordinary meal to an extraordinary experience. Diana's love for food and travel shines through, offering readers not just a cookbook, but a passport to a world of culinary exploration and delight.
