Novel Food: Peaches in Red Wine
September 21, 2007 | Filed Under Novel Food, Food Blogging Events
Simona of Briciole and Lisa of Champaign Taste are hosting the food blog event, Novel Food. That’s foods mentioned in a novel you’ve read. I didn’t get a chance to make anything new, so I’m reposting an old post about the food mentioned in one of my favorite novels, The Food of Love by Anthony Capella. Peaches in Red Wine. I also made Tiramisú, Coda alla Vaccinara (Oxtail soup), and Saltimbocca, which you can read about here, here, and here if you haven’t read them before (and are interested in reading them).
This was first posted August 20, 2005. In the story, the main character emails his girl friend suggestion of Peaches and Red Wine for dessert. It’s so simple to make that even the girlfriend, a non cook, can prepare it. And apparently, so can I.

After my success with the tiramisù, I decide to try another dessert recipe from The Food of Love – Peaches in Red Wine. Fresh peaches, red wine, and sugar are all that the recipe calls for.
It was very simple and the only change that I made with the recipe is that I used Dole bottled peaches instead of fresh peaches.
I liked that it’s a light and simple dessert, not to mention nice to look at before eating.
Peaches in Red Wine
Just pour boiling water over the peaches to help you skin them, then slice them into bowls, sprinkle them with sugar, and pour red wine over them. They’re ready to eat after about 1 hour in the fridge.
Now, how easy is that!? If I can make this anyone, can!

Paz, that looks like the perfect dessert! And I also loved The Food of Love. Good choices!
Oh, Paz, this is wonderful! The peaches look scrumptious, and I’m going to check out the other “Food of Love” dishes you made, too. I read that book — last spring, I think, or during the winter. Anyway, I loved it. The copy I had didn’t have the great cover shown in your post, though.
Thank you so much for mentioning our event and for taking part!
Thank you so much, Paz! Peaches and wine are a great pair. In the summer, my father likes to end his lunch with a peach and half a glass of red wine.
I love peaches in red wine. We always have this is our fridge when peaches are in season. Lovely
Hi Lydia: I’m glad you think so.
Hi Lisa: Actually, I had the old cover, too. The fun part for me, too, was that the author stopped by my blog.
Hi Simona: I like the way your dad dines.
Hi Maryann: What great taste you have.
Thanks for stopping by, everyone!

Wasn’t that a fun event? I hope they do it every month!
Loved your recipe… the figs too.
I will have to come back for a visit soon!:wink:
Hi Sandi: That really was fun — fun preparing the foods but also seeing what others made. Yes, please come back.
