Cooking With Panache: Who Benefits
This is the fifth in a series of posts about The Georgia Club Foundation’s cookbook, “Cooking With Panache - Favorites From The Georgia Club.” Expect to see the cookbook on sale Fall 2009. Mary Poor, Chair of the Cookbook Committee, offered some insights into the creation and development of the cookbook. A sample recipe from the cookbook accompanies her answer.
Where do the proceeds go from sales of the cookbook?
The proceeds from “Cooking with Panache: Favorites From The Georgia Club” will go the The Georgia Club Foundation to serve as a long-term fund-raising vehicle for the many local charities that the Foundation supports.
In the past The Georgia Club Foundation has donated funds to organizations such as Athens Nurses Clinic, Food Bank of Northeast Georgia, College Scholarship Funds for local high schools, Peace Place, The Arch Foundation at the Botanical Garden among others.
This short and sweet answer is accompanied by a sweet recipe from the Breakfast, Breads and Brunch category. The moist and tender bread uses some of the finest ingredients Georgia has to offer.
Georgia Peach Pecan Bread
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups very ripe mashed peaches
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup pecans
In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugars, salt and baking soda. Drain mashed peaches and put in a large bowl. Add beaten egg and melted butter. Stir in pecans. Stir in flour mixture until just moistened. Pour into a 9×5-inch greased and floured loaf pan. Let stand for 20 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes. Cool bread in pan for 10 minutes, remove from pan and finish cooling on wire rack. This bread freezes beautifully.
Peaches and pecans fill this bread that would make any Georgian proud!
