Lucullian delights

Gravatar Mmm, I really like peaches, and this looks yummy. Congratulations on your haute cuisine paper blog award!! Have fun this weekend, am really curious about the blog meetings.


Gravatar So pretty, and I love the background behind the plate! Is it fabric? What a perfect combination with the plate, and congratulations on winning Paper Chef. I'm very glad it's back too, although I don't usually have time to enter I still love reading the entries.


Gravatar Winner of the haute cuisine category in Paper Chef - congratulations!
Peach wine syrup - I think that would be somewhere in heaven.


Gravatar Paperchef sounds like a lot of fun and these peaches and yogurt look just divine!



Gravatar I just saw those at the market today! I use to be able to get them in Spain but this was a first for here in France!
Congrats on the award and enjoy your busy weekend!


Gravatar I love peaches, Ilva, and what a delicious dessert you've made with them!


Gravatar I've bought some peaches today! hmm

Congrats on your award and have lots of fun this weekend!


Gravatar For some reason they are called pinapple peaches in Poland. I tend to buy locally grown peaches but they are usually not as sweet and intensely peachy as those from sunnier lands. Unless we have a very sunny summer, which this is not.


Gravatar you could plant a tree

The leaves turn out funny, they don't look like what you're used to define as peach leaves, more like fuzzy avocado leaves.

Best: peach trees don't need to get refined, you just have to wait


Gravatar Congratulations on your award!

I just returned from holiday in Italy, we stayed in the Maremma area this year and I saw those peaces in every supermarket we went to. Now I'm very very sorry that I didn't try them!!!! (they were quite expensive though)


Gravatar Recipe and photos make my mouth water. Yet, no more peaches for me, for some reason I am allergic to them now. :-(

For their look, flat and round and with a sunken center, they are called Donut Peaches in the USA (in my opinion, their "official" name, "Saturn", does this beauty more justice *g*), whereas a new yellow-flashed variety is called "Bagel Peach". Donut and Bagel for a peach, I dunno.


Gravatar Thanks to all of you! As usual I have a pack of people hanging here, breathing down my neck so I have to be quick, they want the computer! I wish I had the time to answer each of you but that will have to wait until next week!


Gravatar Wow this sounds and looks delicious! Do you know that I've first seen peaches like these (I think they are at least) here in Lanzarote and they're called Paraguay...?! I had no idea the place of origin was the Etna in Sicily.They grow them here...maybe is a specific vulcanic kind of peach...That's intrigueing!


Gravatar Hello Ilva,
I thought this recipe sounded so yummy, I had to make it...or at least a version of it. Since we are vegans, I changed the Greek yogurt to soy yogurt. We enjoyed it tonight as desert, it was absolutely lovely. When we post it on our blog I will certainly give you the credit for the recipe and link to your site. You have many very lovely recipes that vegans are able to eat and many that are quite easy to adapt, and I love your photography. You are quite creative and an inspiration to all of us.
Most Sincerely, Chris at Vegalicious


Gravatar kebrunella-I don't know if they only are grown there because they grow best on vulcanic ground or if they really originates there. but they are good!

Chris-I'm happy you liked it! And I'm happy you find recipes that can be adapted to your diet! Thanks for your kind words!


Gravatar i love donut peaches. they really are deliciously sweet.
i love the idea of this recipe. i made a ceviche with moreton bay bug and donut peaches. if we could just find a main using them you and i would have a three course peach meal!


Gravatar anna-so do I! Maybe we could work something out for that menu!
