Plum Gorgeous: Recipes and Memories from the Orchard

In this cookbook and memoir with photos, “fruits . . . star as the ingredients in [a] delectable ode to orchard fare.” (More magazine) Inside Plum Gorgeous, Romney “Nani” Steele follows her successful cookbook-memoir My Nepenthe with sixty seasonally inspired recipes that celebrate the “romance of fruit.” Capturing the essence, beauty, and deliciousness of cooking with seasonal fruits, Steele offers simple and seductive recipes that intertwine with the seasons in which each fruit is harvested. Savory recipes like Coriander Steak with Blackberry Vinaigrette and Kumquat Couscous Salad with Fried Haloumi Cheese are presented alongside sweet treats like Passionfruit Chocolate Truffles and Plum Soup with Basil Ice Cream. Interspersed throughout Plum Gorgeous are beautiful, full-color photographs by Sara Remington and reminiscences from the year that Steele spent living in an orchard in Big Sur, along with fruit lore and select notes on handling and preserving fruit. In an accessible but imaginative way, Plum Gorgeous beautifully reveals the many layers and flavor profiles of fruit while celebrating the memories inspired by each season's beauty and bounty.
