Have you ever become restless, and wished you could expand your culinary horizons? And do you wish you could host elaborate dinner parties for friends, but feel like you don't have the skills?
If so, the blinks to How to Eat a Peach are required reading for you. You'll learn about how adventurous chef Diana Henry creates delicious menus for every occasion, from a sleepy lunch at home to a festive summer banquet. But even more, you'll learn about how she sees the world through food. Henry has been travelling since she was a teenager, and her cooking is formed by the places she's visited and lived in.

In these blinks, you'll learn that the best dinner parties actually happen in messy kitchens with plenty of cocktails. Good food doesn't have to be complicated or fancy; it's just about choosing quality ingredients and preparing them with care.
