Description
TASCHEN and The Gourmand invite you on a zestful journey through “The Gourmand’s Lemon,” a volume that marvels at the lemon’s rich legacy in art, literature, history, and gastronomy. This book, the second in a best-selling series, blurs the lines between culinary art and visual aesthetics, offering an array of original recipes that glorify the lemon’s diverse culinary prowess.
This vibrant exploration delves into the lemon’s multifaceted existence. From its role in Renaissance gardens influencing the Medici dynasty to its surprising part in the underworld, the lemon’s narrative is as tangy as its flavor. Literary greats like Joan Didion, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tom Wolfe, and James Joyce have used the lemon as a poignant symbol, while its image has been a muse for artistic geniuses including Picasso, Matisse, and Warhol.
The book examines the lemon’s symbolic representation of the American dream, its artistic depictions, and its practical uses in design, notably in Philippe Starck’s Juicy Salif and the humble Jif Lemon. Accompanying these stories are insights from chef Simon Hopkinson and art critic Jennifer Higgie, plus over 60 lemon-infused recipes from around the world. With photography by Bobby Doherty, this book is a celebration of the lemon’s cultural and culinary significance.
