How to Pick a Peach

Huh? This is the title of the book, won by Tracie J of Ann Arbor, MI in our latest It’s on Us Promotion. Tracie was listening to “The Splendid Table” on NPR when she heard them talking about the book.

Tracie says, “The author was talking about what foods shouldn’t be refrigerated when they aren’t ripe, and he ran down a long list of stuff, and I thought, “I’ll never remember all this…let me just Kwiry the book so I can buy it later!”

So she did just that and texted it to kwiry and now she’s our latest winner. The full title is “How to Pick a Peach, The Search for Flavor from Farm to Table”.  The Publisher’s weekly review (from Amazon) states succinctly (and enticingly),

“Equal parts cookbook, agricultural history, chemistry lesson and produce buying guide, this densely packed book is a food-lover’s delight.”

The frequent kwiry blog reader will notice that this story sounds familiar…..in two ways:

1. Ralph C, our winner in week 4, was listening to NPR when he was inspired to kwiry.

2. John C, the week 9 winner, also won a cookbook/food related book inspired while watching a food-related show on TV. “The Whole Beast” book is perhaps the Yang to “How to Pick A Peach’s” Yin.

I don’t know about you guys, but these winning kwirys are giving me lots of ideas for books, movies and music….
