Roland’s dad is in town so we’ve been eating out a lot and not cooking at home much. Tonight we were invited to our friends’ home for dinner so I jumped at the chance to bake a dessert.
We’re lucky enough to have a ton of local fruit around the house so I made this fabulous cobbler from Rustic Fruit Desserts by Cory Schreiber and Julie Richardson. The original recipe is for all blueberries but I didn’t have enough and substituted some peaches instead. I knew the filling would be spectacular, but I was really impressed with the cornmeal “biscuit” topping…crunchy, tender and light all at the same time. Absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to make it again with other fruit.
If you’re into homey, old fashioned fruit desserts, you’ll want to check out the book. Lots of great seasonal recipes using fruit that’s typically available in Vancouver. Visit Barbara-Jo’s Books to Cooks to find the book (I hear they’re having a cooking class featuring the book in mid-September!).
