The iconic Audrey Hepburn is known for her talent, her timeless elegance and her philanthropic efforts, but she also possessed a lesser-known skill: a passion for simple cooking. We've given a couple of her pastas a try and were smitten by her flourless chocolate cake so we were excited to try her 4-ingredient peach dessert , which seemed to be the perfect lazy summer recipe.
Found in the book, Audrey At Home: Memories of my Mother’s Kitchen —which was penned by her son, Luca Dotti—this super-simple recipe is said to be one of Audrey's favorite summer desserts. So, with a sack of fresh Georgia peaches begging to be used in my kitchen, I got to work on this easy dish in hopes it would become my favorite, too. Here's how it went.
