“Every year since I was 4 years old, I have helped my dad at the Rotary Peach Festival,” says Hannah. “We help sell Palisade peaches, which grow in the foothills of the Rockies. I learned how to make grilled peaches from my Dad, who grills a lot. The curried chicken recipe was created because I wanted to make an Indian dish. My friend's mom is Indian and teaches cooking classes that include lots of curry and cumin, which are native to India. She has inspired me to experiment while cooking. These two foods complement each other and make for a delicious summer lunch.”
