When I’m asked to provide a tasty dessert in my catering gigs, I usually recommend my SYD Peach Cobbler. It’s a super easy recipe which packs a wallop in the flavor department and is a cinch to make on the road as all you need are cans of peaches and pre-prepared cobbler dough. You pour the peaches in a half or full foil pan, drop in the cobbler dough and bake or smoke until done. It’s always a crowd pleaser and economically efficient when feeding many guests. When my family was featured in an ABC TV show called Recipe Rehab airing in Spring 2013 on Saturday mornings, the producers featured this dish as it packed 4 tablespoons lard, 2 sticks of butter, and too much sugar and cholesterol to mention! The premise of the show was it casts families with unhealthy recipes who needed to be shown how to make healthy versions of their dish. Two professional chefs would come up with their healthy version which the family would cook and judge. I think my peach cobbler will be dubbed the “Heart Attack Peach Cobbler” when it airs. Here is the blog and pictures from that ABC shoot in November 2012.\ UPDATE: ABC aired the show on Sat April 27, 2013.
