Description

WITH A FOREWORD FROM TIM SPECTOR, author of�The Diet Myth,�Spoon-Fed�and�Food for Life`A pioneering approach.'�ANNA JONES, cook and bestselling author of Easy Wins`By valuing and reclaiming flavour, Franco argues that we can transform the system and also enrich our relationship with food. Essential reading.'�DAN SALADINO, journalist, broadcaster and author of Eating to ExtinctionLet flavour guide our food choices - and lead us to a better food future. In Search of the Perfect Peach shows us how this simple desire can bring about a healthier, tastier and brighter future for our food, the people who produce it and the soil it grows in. That first bite of a perfectly ripe peach can be truly transformative - a joyful moment that will stay with you forever. For Franco Fubini, founder and CEO of Natoora, this encounter also leads him to realise that flavour is not simply a fleeting, visceral experience but a window into the farmer, a connection to our natural environment and a taste test for our food system. What makes a great-tasting tomato? Why is scarring on a greengage a good sign? Does `eating local' narrow our priorities to the exclusion of others? In Search of the Perfect Peach follows Franco as he navigates the food system in pursuit of this elusive element. As he takes us from Sicily's citrus groves to the streets of Mexico City, he shows how we have allowed the wider industry to compromise on more than just flavour. Franco's search for the Greta peach culminates in his own clarity and conviction: by looking to flavour, we can unpick the industrialisation of our food production, restore nutrition and seasonal diversity to our plates and the craft of growing back to our landscapes. And, above all, we can find that perfect peach every summer. `This exciting and important book now brings Natoora and all its ingredients not just to restaurants like ours but . to everyone's home.'�RUTH ROGERS, chef and co-founder of The River Cafe`An incredible read for those who love food and care about its future. In Search of the Perfect Peach is both a love story and technical guide.'�KYLE CONNAUGHTON, chef and owner of SingleThread Farm, Restaurant and Inn

Why Sherlock & Pages?

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
