The Peach Truck Cookbook: 100 Delicious Recipes for All Things Peach
THE INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER
A warm and stylish Southern cookbook, from the owners of the beloved Nashville-based The Peach Truck, celebrating all things peach in 100 fresh and flavorful recipes.
When Stephen and Jessica Rose settled in Nashville, they fell in love with their new city. Their only reservation: Where were the luscious peaches that Stephen remembered from his childhood in Georgia? Amid Nashville’s burgeoning food scene, the couple partnered with his hometown peach orchard to bring just-off-the-tree Georgia peaches to their adopted city, selling them out of the back of their 1964 Jeep Gladiator in Nashville’s farmer’s markets. Since starting their company in 2012, Stephen and Jessica have attracted a quarter of a million followers on social media and have delivered more than 4.5 million peaches to tens of thousands of customers in 48 states. With The Peach Truck Cookbook, the couple brings the lusciousness of the Georgia peach and the savory and sweet charms of Southern cooking, as well as the story behind their success and an insider’s guide to the Nashville food scene, to readers everywhere.
From first bites to easy lunches to mouth-watering dinner dishes and sumptuous desserts, The Peach Truck Cookbook captures the Southern cooking renaissance with fresh, delectable, farm-to-table recipes that are easy to follow and feature peaches in every form. Whether you’re craving peach pecan sticky buns, peach jalapeno cornbread, white pizza with peach, pancetta, and chile, or minty peach lemonade—or have always wanted to try your hand at making a classic peach pie—Stephen and Jessica have you covered. Many of Nashville’s most celebrated hotspots and chefs, including Sean Brock, Lisa Donovan, and Tandy Wilson, have contributed recipes, so you’ll also get a how-to on cult menu items such as Sean Brock’s Double Cheeseburger with Peach Ketchup, Mas Tacos Peach Tamales, and Burger Up’s Peach Truck Margarita. Also included are beautiful photographs illustrating each recipe and a pocket peach education—as Jessica and Stephen take you through peach varieties, best harvesting practices, and everything you need to know to have a peach-stocked pantry.
Full of character and charm, The Peach Truck Cookbook is not only an essential addition to the peach-lover’s kitchen, it will bring the beauty of summer to your table all year round.

If you like eating peaches, this is a great cookbook to add to your cookbook collection. Lots of delicious recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinners, desserts, and also for jams and preserves! An added feature is a section about the many varieties of peaches and how to successfully grow and maintain peach trees. Comprehensive and beautifully illustrated cookbook!

This cookbook is adorable and every recipe is mouth-watering! As a peach-lover, I will definitely be trying my hand at a few of these. I love the genuine stories, reflections, and care put into writing this book. What a tremendous legacy they are giving to their children!

Best Peach Cookbook Ever
This is the best peach cookbook I have found. There are so many recipes that I want to try that I don’t know which to make first. But, as I have a box of Peach Truck peaches sitting on my kitchen counter, I need to make my decision fast before they are gone.

This cookbook has me so excited for summer and fresh ripe peaches. There are 100 recipes and I can't wait to try many of them. In 2012 Stephen Rose started selling his hometown's peach crop in Nashville and now sells to 48 states. It's natural he would then have recipes featuring this luscious fruit. This cookbook covers every course from appetizers to main entries and sinful desserts. Has a chapter on peach varieties, ways to store and pick peaches and general knowledge about the fruit. I always associate Peach Butter with my grandmother and I was happy to see Peach Jam, and Peach Vinegar in the last chapter. Peach Bread Pudding will become a staple. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The book is out June 25, just in time to catch the end of peach season, so hop on this one.
Stephen K. Rose and Jessica N. Rose have built a business selling Georgia peaches. They started selling out of their old pickup truck, hence the name, in Nashville, but have grown nationwide. In addition to selling at farmers markets, they also sell to Nashville restaurants. The recipes in this cookbook are a combination of recipes the authors have developed and recipes from restaurants who use their peaches. It’s a good thing and it gives a nice variety of recipes.
This would be a great book for anyone who loves peaches and wants to move beyond peach pie and peach cobbler, though those recipes are here too. You can order peaches from The Peach Truck online. I am fortunate to live close enough to Gillespie County, Texas to take advantage of Fredicksburg and Stonewall peaches. Growers are calling this year’s crop a good one, so I am excited to take advantage of my early access to this cookbook.
Lemon Peach Pound Cake
I have a friend who works at the farmer’s market on Saturdays. Because she loves me, she brought me a bunch of early peaches from Fredicksburg. I was happy to get them and asked for more, please so that I could test recipes in The Peach Truck Cookbook.
The peaches needed to be used immediately and were rather banged up, so I peeled and diced them and made the Lemon Peach Pound Cake found in The Sweet Stuff chapter. The recipe was created by Nashville pastry chef, Lisa Donovan. Based on this recipe alone I would buy any cookbook she may write. Donovan won a Beard award last year for her essay on her experiences with rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment and misogyny in professional kitchens. As yet, she does not have a cookbook, so this one will do for now.
This pound cake recipe is a keeper. It was so good. There is a warning before the recipe that you are in danger of eating an entire loaf in one sitting. I thought it was an exaggeration. It was not. It’s a perfect everyday cake – not too sweet for breakfast, but sweet enough for after dinner dessert. It has a little cornmeal in it, which gives it a nice texture and flavor that goes well with the peaches. The peaches keep it moist and tender. It would have been more lemony if I had made the lemon glaze, but I found myself out of powdered sugar and too busy eating pound cake to go to the store. A friend and her brother were visiting and confirmed that this is an excellent cake. You would not be wrong to buy the cookbook for this recipe alone.
Peach Ketchup
There is a whole chapter on different sauces and ways to preserve peaches past peach season called “Pantry: Your Future Self Thanks You.” Of the various preserves, jellies, jams, chutneys and such, I decided to try the Peach Ketchup. Ketchup is a way of preserving fruit, not just a sugary tomato condiment. I have never liked tomato ketchup, nor have I ever made any other kind of fruit ketchup. I halved the recipe and now I wish I hadn’t. I’ll probably make another batch later. It’s so good.
Peeled and sliced peaches are simmered with sweet onion, garlic, vinegar, brown sugar and spices. The resulting sauce has a strong flavor – peachy, vinegary and redolent of cloves. It’s like a savory peach butter. I knew it would be tangy, but I wasn’t expecting the flavor explosion in my mouth. In the cookbook, they suggest pairing the ketchup with a double patty burger. I don’t eat beef, so I made some pulled pork (not the one in the cookbook, I don’t have a smoker) and crusty rolls. I am going to spend my summer putting peach ketchup on everything. And I’m going to make more recipes from this cookbook. There are some peach tamales and a peach and rhubarb slab pie calling my name.
This is a good late spring/early summer cookbook, especially if you have access to good peaches. The recipes I didn’t try mostly look delicious and intriguing. With a number of pages devoted to the area’s food scene, this would also be a good cookbook for anyone in the Nashville area, or planning to visit the area. It’s always possible that I chose the only two good recipes in the book, but I doubt it. And frankly, if you bought this just for the peach pound cake and peach ketchup, I wouldn’t blame you.

I seldom read cookbooks cover to cover, but I did this one due to one of the Indianapolis Public Library's 2020 summer reading activities, which required me to read a cookbook and then make something from it. I picked this one because we happened to have half a crate of Peach Truck peaches arriving that same week from a friend - it turns out, reading a cookbook takes quite a bit longer than you'd think it would. We finished eating the peaches before I finished reading this book, so my cookery experiment will have to be done with non-Peach Truck peaches instead. But it was still nicely serendipitous to be reading this, with its paeans to good fresh peaches, immediately after having had the chance to try some. I'm not one to wax rapturous about a particular brand of fruit but the typical handling process for peaches must be rather unimpressive, because these peaches were tons better than the average kind I buy in a grocery store. Even a fancy, high-end grocery store. I have no doubt the recipes herein would be greatly elevated by using their particularly excellent produce.
The book itself is pretty much what you'd expect: heartwarming stories from the owners of the Peach Truck about their early start-up days, the things they learn from being in a business driven by seasonality and the vagaries of fruit farming, the network of food-related relationships that their industry allows them to enjoy, how nice it is raising their three kids in Nashville. They really, really play up the magic of peaches, which is I guess unsurprising from people who make peaches their entire livelihood, but is a little eye-rolling at times. The food photography is top-notch. I obviously haven't tried all the recipes but they are inventive and creative, finding clever ways to incorporate peaches into a wide variety of breakfasts, sides, mains, and drinks, as well as a surprisingly large assortment of desserts and preserved foods. Many of the dishes are twists on Nashville restauranteur dishes that famous-name chefs have collaborated with them to create, which means sometimes they seem overly ambitious or just overly complicated for anything except a very fancy meal. My biggest annoyance in this regard was main dishes that included the peach-infused element together with one or two sides that, while probably tasty and complimentary, were not really related. While it looks beautiful on the pages, a dish requiring that I prepare three or four separate elements is not one that's going to become a go-to, no matter how good it is. There were some simpler preparations, however.
I haven't decided which recipe I'm going to make this week in order to complete my activity - probably one of the mixed drinks, because I only have a few peaches and comparatively little time available, this week. Or maybe one of the fresh salads. Who knows?
What I do know is that next year, I'm ordering a whole crate.

What a beautiful, well made and delicious looking cookbook! At first glance, I must say it has absolutely gorgeous photos. The authors first take us on a journey of how they got involved in selling peaches and the History of the Peach. They also explain what it takes to grow a peach and a description of a few varieties to keep an eye out for. There's also midway through the cookbook information on How to prune a Peach tree along with a Resource guide for Fort Valley, Georgia. You'll also find Proper Peach Care within the book. This book is literally chocked full of information and you'll also find a Nashville Guide of some of the restaurants to check out if you're in the Nashville, Tennessee area.
Then we get to my absolute favorite part, the recipes! Recipe chapters include Breakfast, Small Bites, Lunch, Sides, Supper, Drinks, Desserts, & Pantry.
There was a wide variety of recipes and they are all accompanied by gorgeous photos of the finished product. I lived in the South for over 12 years and the recipes remind me of my time there.
Some of my favorites that are on my list to try:
Peach Dutch Baby
Ginger Peach Smoothie
Peach Coffee Cake
Sweet Sorghum Grits
Peach-Jalapeño Cornbread with Honey Butter
Fried Catfish with Fresh Peach Salsa
Savory Peach Fritters
Buttermilk Biscuits with Signature Peach Jam
City House Peach Vinegar Salad
Grilled Grouper Tacos with Peach Pico
Peach Sweet Tea
Fresh Peach Milk Shake
Peach and Rhubarb Slab Pie
Fried Peach Pies
Peach Butter
Peach Vinegar
I really enjoyed this cookbook and look forward to adding it to my collection. I would highly recommend it for all those peach lovers out there who want some variety in their peach recipes!

I love a good cookbook, and Jessica N. Rose and Stephen K. Rose's The Peach Truck Cookbook: 100 Delicious Recipes for All Things Peach did not disappoint. You may find it helpful to know from the outset that they run a business known as the Peach Truck, which was founded in order to solve the problem of getting high-quality fresh peaches from area farms to the households and restaurants of Nashville, TN, where the couple had just moved in 2012. They still run that business, and it has grown to a thriving enterprise which includes, among other things, the Peach Truck Tour each summer. One can even order weekly subscriptions of peaches they will ship to your home. Can you imagine how amazing your kitchen will smell?!
So, onto the book. As a cookbook, The Peach Truck Cookbook is well produced and will hold up to hard use on your kitchen counter as you work your magic on the counter, stovetop, and oven. It's also well organized, with chapters on: their origin story, Breakfast, Small Bites, Lunch, Sides, Supper, Drinks, Dessert, and Pastry. To date, we've made the Peach-Jalapeno Cornbread (which comes recommended with honey butter and they even tell you how to prepare that). And it's cornbread you make in your cast iron pan. Mic drop.
This is a lovely cookbook and I know someone who is getting it for Christmas this year. That someone isn't me (I got my copy from the library), as I'm saving up for a subscription box next peach season. Sadly, I only made one cobbler this season and I want to try it with Peach Truck peaches next year. I know that will be next-level stuff.

I usually enjoy single ingredient cookbooks, but they often fail to stretch the imagination in the way this one does, and this is one of the best I have encountered in years. Lots of wonderful family detail and peach lore is also included. Sorry to say this won't be available for a few months, but when it does come out, fresh peaches will be gloriously available for any who want to try new ways to use one of our favorite fruits. I particularly enjoyed the recipes for new ways to use peaches in sandwiches and salads, although the standby dessert, jams and sauces are excellent. The peach rum conserve I made up disappeared really fast, as did the peach chutney. I used frozen peaches for most of the things I tried this time of year--Jan-March--but come June I'll be at my local peach stand stocking up to try the rest of the offerings.

I agree, peaches are the queen of fruit! Nothing is sadder than a store bought peach. Hard, mealy, dried out... Waaaay too expensive for what you get and not worth a plug nickle. I only buy in season and local. Then I buy enough to make make lots of tasty treats to enjoy later, in fall and winter and spring.... ! Peach makes a wonderful cordial. If done right, it tastes like August in a peach orchard! By I digress. This book has loads of info on peaches, from types of peaches, to growing them, and, best of all, imo!, recipes for these lovely, juicy fruits! I enjoyed the book and the authors story of how their business evolved. Kudos to them! I can't wait to sse the hard copy of this book, the Photos will be fabulous in color!
I received a Kindle ARC from Netgalley in exchange for a fair review.

This is a beautiful, delightful and inspiring book about all things peach by the business owners of The Peach Truck, who work hard to bring the best Georgia peaches to Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Texas, & Florida!
The photographs are divine and tantalizing. The quality and content of the book is top notch.
Amongst the 100 delicious peach recipes, the book includes the history of peaches coming to America and the history of the Roses’ business which started in 2012. The authors/business owners live in Nashville, but at the time there were no peaches growing there, so they started The Peach Truck business as a way to get the Fort Valley, Georgia peaches (from the Pearson Farm) to their city.
The book includes information and photos of their family, local spots in Nashville, and the peach orchards in Georgia. It also includes some information on the food scene and restaurants in Nashville.
You will be inspired to try peach recipes for drinks, appetizers, side dishes, main dishes, breakfasts, lunches, and desserts. I highly recommend this book!

I would first like to say that I am in love with Peaches and anything Peach.
This was a home run cookbook for me. I loved that it had something for all meals and appetites. I am most excited about the Peach Dutch Baby. Or maybe the Peach Bourbon rub. I can't decide. I made the peach simple syrup tonight and it will be a great addition to any unsweetened iced tea that I make. It came out amazing.
This is a perfect gift for summer weddings or a house warming gift. I love to make cooking baskets with cook books as gifts and this one is just so perfect for that.
Thank you NetGalley for an early e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I am not anywhere close to Georgia, but we have the Palisade Peaches from the western slope showing up in the Farmer's Market now. I am a canner and that is originally why I picked up the book. That being said, there is a wide variety of peach infused recipes to be had. Caprese Salad and a BLP sandwich, peach substituted for the tomato...not something I would eat, but I bet it is something I can spring on others. Candied peach bacon? Hell yeah! Peach Dutch Baby...slurp! Peach Bourbon BBQ Sauce on grilled wings or Simple Peach Syrup slathered on ribs, Peach Sweet Tea...I see gifting in my future!

A heartwarming family story, with charming farm and family pictures, and the kids are very cute.
I tried a few recipes from this book, and they were all great, especially Peach Cucumber Basil salad which is now my family's absolute fave!
I would only note that, to my taste, recipes call for too much vinegar, and dishes end up tasting like pure vinegar. Other ingredients just can't beat it, vinegar takes over all other tastes. I ended up cutting the vinegar portion in half, and this way, I think, I am still able to taste peaches.

Reading this made me wish it was summer. I would recommend having a copy of this book if you live in a peach growing region - not needed if you don’t. The fruit that is sold in stores and called a peach tastes almost nothing like the real thing. Fresh peaches tops the short list of reasons I live in the okanagan. I cant wait to try some of these recipes this summer.

With all the hype around the company not really impressed. They promote Georgia peaches, but themselves live in Nashville.
Some recipes are interesting, others are typical. But great for any peach lover. Like that authors include a brief history of Georgia peaches starting with their introduction to NA by Spanish monks.

I learnt a lot about peaches and how to cook with them. Some things were new to me and I will surely give a try.
The recipes were clear and well explained, the peach lore fascinating.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Edelweiss for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

great book on the history, growing, varieties, and cooking/baking with peaches. I liked how the Peach Truck's story was intermingled with the history of the peach. I have saved a few recipes to try when next peach season comes around.

There are a lot of great recipes, here, including how to freeze, can, etc.
There is also information on different types of peaches, how to blanche and peel peaches, and more!
A fine addition to the cookbook genre!

I have never bought from the peach truck - in part because I didn’t know what I would do with all of those peaches! I enjoyed the history and information in here, as well as the recipes. I saved quite a few to try next summer.

As a peach lover, this is a great book. I'm not a fan of savory dishes with fruit, but there are several good, sweet breakfast and dessert recipes that look great! The peach dutch baby is delicious; can't wait to try more recipes out.

Some nice recipes, but how one is supposed to cook them without these peaches beats me. The whole family voice is a bit contrived, but a nice looking book.
