This book caught my eye because it’s about one of my favorite flavors/fruits – lemons! And I not only love the taste and love recipes using lemons, I have a lemon growing at the corner of my house – and this book covers all of this very handily and is pretty book as well.

I'm a sucker for a lemon and this book has that subject covered. Everything you ever wanted to know about lemons and were afraid to ask. I have not used the recipes yet but I look forward to trying some of them out. The photographs are beautiful and makes me pucker to look at them.

I grew lemons and key limes in Florida.

But my favorites were my tangelo trees.
