L.A. Times - Food & Dining: Summer pleasures of peaches (and nectarines) with 7 terrific recipes

Jul 27th 2013, 14:00, by By Russ Parsons

Peaches and nectarines are kissing cousins. In fact, maybe closer. Plant a bunch of peach pits and a few of them will actually sprout nectarine trees, and vice versa. It used to be said that the difference was that peaches had fuzz while nectarines didn’t. But in supermarkets today, that’s hard to determine since many of the peaches have been mechanically de-fuzzed. Generally, the flavor of nectarines is lighter and a little more acidic, almost lemony, while peaches are richer and muskier. Ripe nectarines can make you gasp with pleasure, but a great, perfectly ripe peach will make you fall to your knees. Still, you can use them interchangeably. What’s good for the peach is good for the nectarine.

Get a taste of the South in Southern California with 1892 East's crispy French toast recipe.

Dear SOS: About a year ago, I was in Huntsville, Ala., attending a graduation at Oakwood University, my alma mater. While I was there, I visited a restaurant named 1892 East New American Restaurant & Tavern for a Sunday brunch. I ordered the crispy French toast, and it was to die for! Is there any way you can get the recipe? I live in California, so going back to Huntsville is out of the question, of course. I would be forever grateful.

Ratatouille is a delicious classic summer dish that takes advantage of a garden's bounty. And it can be a stew, a soup, a pasta sauce and more.

A carefully made ratatouille is one of the classic dishes of summer, a deeply delicious expression of what can be done with the best vegetables from the seasonal garden. It is bright and acidic, sweet and herbaceous, rich with olive oil and vibrant in color.

Just because you can't travel to Cuba from the United States doesn't mean that you can't drink like you're on holiday in Havana. Eveleigh barman Dave Kupchinsky has created a languorous summer treat with a cocktail called Hotel Nacional. The drink tips its rim to the actual Hotel Nacional de Cuba, which is near the sea in the bustling Vedado neighborhood of Havana. It opened in 1930, after which Americans, including Frank Sinatra, Ava Gardner, Marlon Brando and Ernest Hemingway, sought regular respite in its luxurious environs. It's possible they even enjoyed a drink much like Kupchinsky's, made with a refreshing mixture of light rum, tart lime and just a hint of bitters and sweet apricot brandy. Either way, one sip and you can conjure the balmy Caribbean.
