Relish is a compendium of things to enjoy greatly and that add a little flavor to your gluten-free life. And it is fresh, sunny and a tropical treat.

Relish will return next month full of gluten-free delights, a fresh perspective and hopefully a bushel of apples. For now, I am going to cuddle up with preview copies of Colette Martin’s The Allergy Free Pantry and Silvana Nardone’s Silvana’s Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Kitchen. For now, I will leave you with an update about this month’s focus.

Flavor of the month: Peach

I did my very first flavor of the month in July, and I wish I had chosen just a little bit better. Parsley was quite a challenge, and since it doesn’t lend itself quite as well to desserts, I managed to stump myself.

Never fear though, because I made a smarter choice this month. Peaches. Ripe, juicy stone fruit that might just be one of nature’s best treats. (And it is National Peach Month after all…). These babies are in season in most of the country at this time of the year – and since I can obtain them at the local farmer’s market, I know it is time to play around in the kitchen. (Ok, I have already started…)

You will now find Flavor of the Month posts each Wednesday.

On the docket

Are you going to the Food Allergy Blogger Conference this year? I am still unsure if I will be able to make it out there, but the lineup is starting to look pretty darn cool, and you should totally consider registering.
