The Gourmand's Lemon

$50.00

A Collection of Stories and Recipes

By The Gourmand

Join the culinary experts at The Gourmand on an in-depth exploration of the literary, linguistic, historic, and gastronomic legacy of lemons, where the line between food and art is happily blurred. This brightly beautiful book charts the fruit’s astonishingly intricate genealogy; explores its role as a literary device for the likes of Joan Didion, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tom Wolfe, and James Joyce; and examines its unique representation throughout the history of art, from the still lifes of Old Masters and wallpapers of the Arts & Crafts movement to the cutting edge of design in Philippe Starck’s iconic Juicy Salif. 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.
