A cookbook for lemon lovers with more than seventy “mouthwateringly irresistible” dessert recipes (Publishers Weekly).
Lemon sweets are the divas of desserts. Assertive and bold, lemons can be flamboyant, tart, and tangy as in the Lemon Granita or sweet, mellow, and velvety like the creamy Lemon Panna Cotta. Over seventy recipes—from the classics to lip-smacking new favorites—are enticingly presented in Luscious Lemon Desserts.
These recipes vary from the simple to the sublime, from the quick and easy to the most elaborate showstoppers, whether it’s a fast and fabulous lemon pudding or a Mile-High Lemon Angel Food Cake. Former editor of Gourmet Lori Longbotham also provides great tips on buying, storing, and using this most popular fruit.
