Join The Gourmand's culinary experts for an in-depth exploration of the literary, linguistic, historical and gastronomic legacy of lemons, where the lines between food and art blur. With original recipes that celebrate the versatility and complexity of the king of citrus in the second volume of the best-selling series.
A gastronomic journey through art, cinema, literature and recipes. The seemingly simple lemon takes center stage in the second volume of TASCHEN's collaboration with The Gourmand , a magazine where food and art intersect their paths . This cheerful yellow orb is a box of surprises: star of the Renaissance gardens, which shaped the Medici dynasty, has the power to protect against scurvy and was a protagonist in the formation of the mafia. Additionally, its juice has been used as invisible ink since 600 AD. C. to write secret messages. The Gourmand traces the astonishingly intricate genealogy of this fruit, explores its role as a literary resource for writers such as Joan Didion , F. Scott Fitzgerald , Tom Wolfe and James Joyce , and examines his unique representation of the American dream through lemonade stands.
The lemon, a recurring theme for the great figures of art history, captivates in the still lifes of the masters of painting and inspired the advances of modern visionaries as Picasso , Matisse either Warhol . Lemons are also related to the avant-garde of design through Philippe Starck's iconic Juicy Salif or the simple but revolutionary Jif Lemon. Its presence extends to the decorative arts, from Arts and Crafts wallpapers to mythological-themed ceramics. We even find lemons in the literary loves of the famous Bloomsbury group. A foreword by chef and acclaimed gastronome Simon Hopkinson and an introduction by art critic and writer Jennifer Higgie accompany these anecdotes focused on citrus. To round it out, more than 60 lemon-infused recipes from cuisines around the world, including poultry dishes, decadent sauces, classic cocktails and delicious desserts, all photographed exclusively by Bobby Doherty .
