Full Review:

5 Stars - I recommend if you are looking for a cookbook focusing on fresh and delicious meals.

The Peach Truck is a Nashville business that supplies fresh Georgia peaches to Nashville and beyond. This book holds a bit of the journey of the business along with many recipes inspired by the peaches that the owners love so much.

Y'all I love peaches. I started following The Peach Truck on Instagram a long time ago, and got to see their booth in Nashville on one of our trips. Around here we love peach desserts and adding peach and apricot jams to savory meals. I knew this cookbook would be right up my alley! I love that they shared a bit of their stories about growing up around peaches and other fresh fruit, working with a family farm, and getting fresh peaches to Nashville in this book. Having an attachment to Nashville it was so fun to read about their experience there and how it is a city for dreamers, regardless of what your dream is. I loved how they spun bits of their story into the cookbook as it went along. Especially the focus on family, giving, inclusion, and bonding over food and meals. The story of stripping their kiddos down to eat peaches naked on the front porch and then spraying them off and chasing them around the yard was just the sweetest thing I've read in a long time. I liked that the book was broken down into sections: Breakfast, Small Bites, Lunch, Supper, Drinks, Desserts, and Pantry. Recipes range from Peach and Sausage Empanadas to Sweet Cucumber Basil Salad and Sparkling Peach Sangria, to Sticky Peach Glazed Ribs and everywhere in-between.

Recipes I am particularly excited to try: Peach Candied Bacon, Peach Almond Streusel Muffins, Peach Coffee Cake, Grilled Wings with Peach Bourbon BBQ Sauce, Grilled Peach Caprese Salad, Peach and Sausage Empanadas, Summer Garden Pasta, Peach Truck BLP, Fried Catfish with Peach Salsa, The Grilled Cheeserie's Shaved Peach Melt, Sweet Cucumber Basil Salad, Favorite Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Buttermilk Biscuits with Peach Jam, Grilled Pork Chops with Peach Agrodolce, Grilled Corn Succotash, and Purple Potatoes, Grilled Hanger Steak with Grilled Peach Halves, Scallions, and Chile-Lime Butter, Chicken Sliders, Three Ways, Sticky Peach Glazed Ribs, Minty Peach Lemonade, Peach Vodka, Sparkling Peach Sangria, Peach Plum Cupcakes, Pavlova with Whipped Cream and Brandied Peaches (I will try pavlova again, and will triumph!), Peach and Rhubarb Slab Pie, Peach Sorbet, Fried Peach Pies, Lemon Peach Pound Cake, Peach Truck Freezer Jam, and Peach Applesauce. Basically all of the recipes...

Right After Reading:

Y'all I love peaches. I knew this cookbook would be right up my alley, and it truly was. This doesn't publish until June, so that's all I'll say for now. Full review coming then!
