When life gives you lemons...
A gastronomic journey through art, cinema, literature and recipes
The lemon is the protagonist of the second volume of TASCHEN's collaboration with The Gourmand, a magazine where food and art intersect.
This cheerful yellow fruit is a box of surprises, it was the star of the Renaissance gardens, which shaped the Medici dynasty, it has the power to protect against scurvy and was a protagonist in the formation of the mafia. In addition, its juice has been used as invisible ink since 600 AD. C. to write secret messages.
The Gourmand astonishingly traces the genealogy of the lemon, explores its role as a literary resource for writers such as Joan Didion, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tom Wolfe, and James Joyce, and examines its unique representation of the American dream through lemonade stands. .
A foreword by chef Simon Hopkinson and an introduction by art critic and writer Jennifer Higgie accompany these citrus-focused anecdotes. Plus more than 60 lemony recipes from cuisines around the world, including poultry dishes, decadent sauces, classic cocktails and delicious desserts, all photographed exclusively by Bobby Doherty.
