Savor Peaches as Summer Draws to a Close

The best part of summer is the availability of fresh fruit. Going to the Farmer's Market is a great way to develop meal, snack, and dessert ideas. Before I plan a dinner party, I like to go to the market to see what is fresh.

Having too much of one product is a wonderful problem to have. The mind reels, deciding how to incorporate it into all of your favorite dishes.



Right now, peaches are a hit at the market. This year at TONI, we've made Peach Crumb Coffee Cakes, our requisite Peach Pie, and we've added peaches to our Cherry Galettes for a limited time only. Galettes are available in the store daily and on Mondays at the Hinsdale Farmer's Market. Filling flavors will vary, call ahead to find out what we are baking.

Enjoy peaches baked in your favorite sweets, stewed in a compote, or fresh out of your hand, like this little girl. Just make sure to get them while they last!
