Zest

A collection of more than 75 recipes celebrating of the most versatile and transformative fruits used in cooking, from stunningly simple salads to complex and richly spiced curries and braises, as well as temptingly tangy desserts and drinks. Citrus fruits are possibly the most essential family of ingredients to cook with. They satisfy almost every part of the palate—sweet, sour, bitter, and umami-enhancing. This fresh and vibrant book explores the myriad uses of oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit to provide a source of delight and inspiration in your kitchen all year round. From a quick squeeze of lemon juice over a cooked dish to a rich and complex overnight marinade, citrus fruits have a magical ability to be both the star of the show or to quietly enhance and elevate both flavor and texture. Consider aromatic Asian-style curries, vibrant Mexican-inspired salsas, South American ceviche, tangy Indian pickles, and North Africa tagines, none of these dishes would succeed without the addition of lemons, limes, and oranges; juice, flesh and zest! Choose from fresh noodle salads and light seafood dishes, as well as slow-cooked meats and vegetable dishes, plus discover appetizing home bakes as well as moreish desserts and citrus-forward drinks and cocktails.
