The Kitchen Philosophy

This summer we have had a run of perfect peaches.  Naturally, the bulk of them were eaten straight up, standing over the kitchen sink but always good to save a few for this recipe.  I often double this crisp topping and reserve half in the refrigerator  – it can keep for weeks.  Also try it on top of blueberries, blackberries or a combination with the peaches.  In the winter months when only frozen is available, add sugar to taste (between 1/4 to 1/2 cup) and 1 Tbsp of cornst

Ahh, a week at the beach… the to-do list is short:  Tennis, lounging in the sand, swimming and pondering what to eat and what to drink.  With the summer produce at its peak, every drink starts at the local farm stand and finishes with a splash of St. Germain.  This sweet French liqueur, it is made from elderberry flowers which has lovely elements of peach, grapefruit, orange and pear so it is a natural choice for any fruit based drink.
