In Search of the Perfect Peach: Why flavour holds the answer to fixing our food system

‘Franco and Natoora’s pioneering approach to flavour-led food has changed food for the better in the UK and beyond. This book delves further into what eating for flavour means for our plates and the planet.’ Anna Jones, cook and bestselling author of Easy Wins ‘The current food system is causing unique flavours to be lost and our palates distorted. In Search of the Perfect Peach gives a powerful and impassioned account of why this is harmful to people and planet. 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 Extinction ‘The growth of The River Cafe in London over the past twenty years has been made possible by Natoora, who bring our ingredients in the right season, from the right region, with the best quality and taste to our door. This exciting and important book now brings Natoora and all its ingredients not just to restaurants like ours but also to the interested cook, to their home – 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 to supporting good food systems and the people behind them.’ Kyle Connaughton, chef and owner, SingleThread Farm, Restaurant and Inn ‘Richly refreshing and powerfully persuasive — what’s not to love about the idea that epicurean pleasures can have positive environmental impact? — I devoured In Search of the Perfect Peach in one delicious sitting.’  Love Reading (starred)
