COOK`S CORNER : REUNITING WITH PEACHY RECIPE FOR FRESH COBBLER.


Byline: Marge Powers

In response to Ann Marie Takala's request for a fresh peach cobbler recipe that she lost, two readers came to the rescue.

Priscilla Sullivan found her cobbler recipe at a farm stand in New Jersey more than 20 years ago. And Roberta M. Bassman's cobbler came from ``The Lazy Days of Summer Cookbook'' published in 1992.

Keep the recipes handy when peaches are juicy, ripe and in season for a wonderful and comforting dessert.
