In the second volume of TASCHEN’s series with cult-favourite ‘The Gourmand’ journal, the cultural and culinary history of the lemon is celebrated. A star of Renaissance gardens, with the power to ward off scurvy, it had a hand in forming the mob, acts as a muse in art and its juice has been used as an invisible ink since 600AD to pen covert messages. Through a collection of original essays and archetype recipes, illustrated with contemporary photography and historic artworks, this large volume explores all the facets of the deceptively simple lemon.
