The deceptively simple lemon takes center stage in the second volume of taschen’s collaboration with the gourmand, masters of the rich intersection of food and art. the star of renaissance gardens, that shaped the medici dynasty, have the power to ward off scurvy, had a hand in forming the mob, and whose juice has been used as an invisible ink since 600 ce to pen covert messages, these joyful yellow orbs are ripe with intrigue. Accompanying these citrus-centric anecdotes are a foreword by chef and acclaimed food writer simon hopkinson and an introduction by art critic and author jennifer higgie alongside more than 60 lemon-infused recipes across global cuisines and for every occasion―including perfect poultry, decadent sauces, classic cocktails, and indulgent desserts, with custom photography by bobby doherty.
