Good Food
Life's a peach
Peach season is upon us. As we move into summer, the prices will come down and there will be no shortage of varieties to try, from the Sugar Time Yellow and the June Lady to the Fiesta Jim and the O'Henry. At the Santa Monica Farmers' Market, Troy Regier talks to Laura Avery about how he grows and picks the fruit at the family farm in Reedley.
Peach season is upon us. As we move into summer, the prices will come down and there will be no shortage of varieties to try, from the Sugar Time Yellow and the June Lady to the Fiesta Jim and the O'Henry. At the Santa Monica Farmers' Market, Troy Regier talks to Laura Avery about how he grows and picks the fruit at the family farm in Reedley. It's early in the season yet but chef Corina Weibel is already working peaches into the menu at Canelé in Atwater Village. Find her recipe for burrata with roasted stone fruits and black cherry agrodolce on the Good Food blog.
PS: Our esteemed host, Evan Kleiman, is making dinner with Weibel, Nyesha Arrington and other chef friends at a Los Angeles Food Policy Council benefit on June 5. More details on that event here.
