Plum Gorgeous
Plum Gorgeous: Recipes and Memories from the Orchard | Romney Steele
5 posts | 1 read
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. 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.

✨For @DebinHawaii 's 1️⃣ year litsyversary #debsstack request to see our favorite of something, I put some thought into this:Litsy is 100% my favorite thing. It's the 1st thing I want to see in the morning and the last thing I check at night. Not only has my book love finally found a home & my TBR exploded, but I have made the most wonderful friendships & connections with some of the most amazing people in existence here & I make more everyday! ⤵️

Laalaleighh Y'all have gotten me through so much the past year and filled what would otherwise be a really lonely time in my life with light and happiness and readathons and bookswaps and buddyreads and kitty pictures and gorgeous food and texting til 4am every night and following along with so many of you on your exciting life journeys and I have loved every minute of it and am so so so grateful for it!! ⤵️ 7y
Laalaleighh So here's a sparkly pic of the app since I can't show all the lovely Littens, but the people on Litsy and the friendships I've made are my favorite. Nothing else comes close. 💕✨ 7y
Megabooks 💕💕💕😘😘 7y

And my husband goes to sleep before I do so y'all are the last people I "talk" to before bed ❤️ I'm so happy I found this community ❤️?? And I feel like I'm Missing out when I'm at work ?? 7y

DebinHawaii I love this book & bought a copy because I gave away my copy. I'll buy another! 7y
DebinHawaii I just reviewed & LOVED this book. This is an #ARC 7y
DebinHawaii A recent review book, they sent me two. Good foodie fiction! There's a first book, The Sparrow Sisters, I still need to read. 7y
DebinHawaii Plum Gorgeous is a fruit cookbook, this one is signed by the author who is a doll. I bought a few copies when she was here & had her sign them. This is my last (except for mine of course!) 😆 7y
DebinHawaii I love this book which although about cocktails also includes other bevvys-like tea & coffee, wine, etc. & recipes to pair. I had an extra copy. 7y

CatLass007 Happy anniversary! Thanks for the giveaway....would anyone like to help a noob figure out how to post a pic? 7y
Smangela My mom brought me back an extremely similar bookmark to that one from her trip to Hawaii :) 7y
DebinHawaii @CatLass007 Thank you for the Litsyversary wishes! ? To post a pic, once you pick your book, below where you type in your comments you should see 'Add an Image" with a camera (next to 'tag people' and 'spoiler alert'). When you click on it, it will give you a choice to pull from gallery or take new photo. Pull from gallery should take you to your smart phone photos and you can select one & add it. It allows for some editing that you'll see... 7y
DebinHawaii @CatLass007 when you are there-although the cropping feature is kind of junk. Anyway hope that helps. If not let me know & I'll try for a better explanation. 😆 7y
DebinHawaii @Smangela I'm sure--there's not a lot of variety in bookmarks here. But if you enter and win & have the pineapple, I do have a couple of other designs! 😆👍 7y
CatLass007 @DebinHawaii Thanks for the crash course!! 7y
LeahBergen You're awesome! (now to take a photo of something ... 🤔) 7y

Laalaleighh Happy litsyversary! Eat lots of spicy garlic avocado toast and cook all the delicious things!! 7y
auntie_jenn happy day! how did you know it was your anniversary? i can't figure mine out 🤔 7y
DebinHawaii @auntie_jenn I used my first post date & had to go back & check Twitter to check the exact day because I knew I discussed it with a blogger friend the day before posting. It's a bit tricky but I think I got it right! 😄👍 7y
Lola @auntie_jenn If you're an email saver, search for your Welcome to Litsy email. 😊 7y
Lola Happy Anniversary! 💃🏻🍷🍸🎂 7y
DebinHawaii @Lola @auntie_jenn That works better if you posted that day or know how long afterward you did! 😆👍Unfortunately I had the account before I got around to posting! 7y
Lola @DebinHawaii Good point! I was an immediate poster 😆I can't imagine how long it must have taken you to scroll down to your first post! Yowza! 7y
DebinHawaii @Lola Actually I was smarter there. There was a 'first Litsy post' photo prompt about 3 months in and after seeing how long it took to pull it up then, I saved the screen shot in my faves thinking it would probably come up again someday. Then I went in to the post through the book which was WAY faster as it's a more obscure book. They don't make it easy!! Hah! 😆👍 7y
Lola @DebinHawaii Brilliant!! 👍🏻 7y
Bookchipmunk Mazel Tov on your Litsyvesary! 🤙 7y
auntie_jenn @lola @DebinHawaii thanks! i don't have the email. i looked up the first book i posted on Goodreads, and i read it 3/1-3/19/2016. that's as close as i'll get. oh well! (edited) 7y
tpixie Happy Belated Litsyversary!!! 7y
