This week’s recipe for Cook the Book Fridays comes from Dorie Greenspan’s latest cookbook, Everyday Dorie and was the perfect showcase for local peaches here in Southwest France – it’s *just* the right time for them!
We celebrated 7 years of owning our little piece of Southwest France last weekend with a special meal with our neighbours and this dessert was “the chosen one”. Luckily, it lived up to the rest of the meal though it is very simple. Also: my first ever cobbler!
Start with peaches – I used a combination of white and yellow. And I added optional blueberries…
The cobbler topping it very cake-like – for some reason I was expecting it to be like cookie dough but this was very soft and a bit hard to scoop whilst keeping the batter to stay in it’s scooped shape. No matter, I figured it would bake up ok…
And bake up ok, it did. WOW. Even before you taste it, it’s gorgeous to look at (especially with that purple blueberry juice)
And it tastes AMAZING! Using in-season fruit is a MUST here – there are so few ingredients that it does make a difference. Loved that this was not too sweet either. We served it with whipped cream but ice cream or pouring cream would do here too. SO GOOD. Maybe my first cobbler but not my last!

Your first cobbler and it looks fantastic. There will surely be more cobblers to come. Blueberries are among my favorites.
nice way to celebrate– looks delicious!!
How can this be your first cobbler? I think you are right about my cobbler and needed more space between biscuits for the juices to cook down. Good point. You are right about the biscuit dough being soft and hard to work with. I think that is why mine glued together. I think I needed a bigger pan. I hope your enjoyed your time in France.
Congratulations on your celebration…and getaway to France! I am sure exceptionally sweet given the circumstances we have all been living through these last months/year.
So glad you are in France and celebrating being there safely. Congratulations on 7 years – hard work, sweat but mostly happiness, I believe. Yes? This cobbler looks delicious. My granddaughter has been here for a week (first time I have seen her since 12/19) so we decided to make her great-grandmother’s peach crisp instead. It was delicious and a good memory. We bought a box of peaches (40 of them) in nearby Palisades from a family-owned orchard begun in 1932! I have peaches on hand so will get Dorie’s cobbler made next week. We also made Dorie’s pimento cheese – so yummy.
This cobbler looks great!! My kind of dessert.
It’s SO good!
