Georgia's Peachy Cuisine by Ruth Paget

Georgia’s Peachy Cuisine by Ruth Paget 

Georgia’s state nickname is the Peachtree State. Its juicy, yellow peaches that taste like mangoes tempt you to live on them year-round with a few other Georgia specialty items mixed in like pecans, peanuts, and sweet Vidalia onions. 

I have tried many of the following recipes during extended stays in Atlanta over the years and think these recipes from Georgia Hometown Cookbook by Sheila Simmons and Kent Whitaker may interest readers:  

-peach guacamole 

-banana – pecan pancakes 

-peach muffins 

-sweet Vidalia soup 

-peach bread 

-peach-apricot green salad with feta cheese 

-carrot, broccoli, chopped pecan salad with mayonnaise 

-peach coleslaw 

-peach pasta salad -peach jello with cream cheese, marshmallows, and chopped pecans 

-sweet Vidalia onion soup -fried green tomatoes 

-North Georgia apple pork chops 

-Bourbon pork kebabs 

-peach wings -peach fried pies 

-peach cobbler 

-peach crisp 

Diners interested in following the Georgia Diet can find much to love in the Georgia Hometown Cookbook by Sheila Simmons and Kent Whitaker.
