The Masumoto family’s amazing heirloom peaches — which are available for a few weeks each year at the best produce markets and top restaurants in the country — are widely considered the best peaches in the world. 

The Perfect Peach, the Masumoto family's debut cookbook, gathers 50 of the family’s favorite recipes, from classics like Hearty Peach Cobbler, Peach Chutney, and Slow-Cooked Pork Tacos to inspired combinations such as Prosciutto-Wrapped Peaches, Caprese with Peaches, Spice-Rubbed Pork Chops and Grilled Peaches, and Stuffed French Toast. And the pristine flavor of a just-picked summer peach can be enjoyed year-round with the easy-to-follow instructions for drying, canning, freezing, or jamming the best of the harvest. 
 
With rich recipe and location photographs fresh from their California orchard, the Masumoto family's beautiful cookbook paints an intricate portrait of an organic farm that has been in the family for four generations. Accompanied by eloquent essays that evoke the soul of family farming and the nuances of a life filled with peaches, The Perfect Peach is for anyone who longs to savor the flavor of a pristinely ripe peach.
