Plum Gorgeous: Recipes and Memories from the Orchard

Inside Plum Gorgeous, Romney "Nani" Steele follows her successful cookbook-memoir My Nepenthe with 60 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. Savoury recipes like Coriander Steak with Blackberry Vinaigrette and Couscous Salad with Fried Haloumi Cheese are presented alongside sweet treats like Passionfruit Chocolate Truffles and Plum Soup with Basil Ice Cream.

Interspersed throughout the book are beautiful, full-colour photographs by Sara Remington, 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 flavour profiles of fruit while celebrating the memories inspired by each season's beauty and bounty.
