Peach Cobbler with Hot Sugar Crust
“And inside the peach, there’s a stone.” – Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace. One of my favorite things about August and September is the peaches. Buy them too early or too late, and they never seem to ripen or develop flavor. But in late summer? Heaven. And the peaches have been particularly good this year, for which I am genuinely grateful. After so many on-going grocery and produce shortages due to coronavirus, it is a wonderful surprise.

Balsamic Strawberries with Angel Food Cake
“When you come to me, come to me with cake in your pocket, come to me nicely, with that soft kinda cake…bring me angel food angel food.” – Ani DiFranco. Who doesn’t love strawberry shortcake? This semi-savory take on the classic dessert uses an angel food loaf instead of shortcake or sweet biscuits, and adds tangy balsamic vinegar and freshly ground black pepper to the macerated strawberries. It’s a very refreshing twist – not overly sweet and offering the perfect taste of summer.
