Always Add Lemon: Recipes You Want to Cook | Food You Want to Eat

by Danielle Alvarez

Nourishing recipes and inspiring kitchen projects destined for the aspirational home cook's repertoire.

Always Add Lemon is the highly anticipated first book from American-born Danielle Alvarez—one of the most exciting young chefs cooking in Australia today. Taking the lessons, skills and tastes acquired working alongside some of the best chefs in America, Danielle translates formidable kitchen smarts into an inspiring collection of recipes and projects for nourishing, vegetable-forward, seasonal food.

With more than 100 recipes across six chapters (salads; fruits and vegetables; pasta, grains, and legumes; seafood; poultry and meat; and dessert) paired with creative projects for the more adventurous (pastry from scratch, bread, dairy, meat and pickles), Always Add Lemon will inspire anyone with a smidgen of kitchen ambition and a free afternoon.

The end result of the recipes are as delicious as the book itself

[Macy]

I can’t really rate this book because most of the ingredients are pretty impossible for me to obtain in Atlanta, Georgia, so I cannot cook anything. I see now the author lives in Australia. This book could possibly be good for someone living in California who goes to the local farmer’s market every day OR if you happen to have any of the below ingredients (I have never heard of most of these):

Celeriac
Chicory
Fennel
Castelfranco
Persimmon
Bottarga
Witlof
Quince
Romano beans
Sorrel

A beautifully written book for the home cook. AAL has a range of recipes from simple to complex, but all are delicious and will make your loved ones happy. It is also filled with tips and tricks to improve your cooking. I’m working my way through each recipe and am yet to be disappointed. A must buy!

[Jane Dugger]

A lovely cookbook but not for me.

Good read...even if it is just a cookbook!
Excellent chef has a lot to tell us.
