When Life Gives You Lemons… A gastronomic voyage through art, film, literature, and recipes

The deceptively simple citrus fruit, the lemon takes center stage in this great volume. The star of Renaissance gardens, has had the power to ward off scurvy, had a hand in forming the mob, and whose juice has been used as an invisible ink since 600 CE to pen covert messages, these joyful yellow orbs are ripe with intrigue.  

Born from the collaboration of the publishing house Taschen and The Gourmand, a culinary and culture journal, this book is an astounding work of art. It charts the beloved citrus fruit’s astonishingly intricate genealogy, explores its role as a literary device for the likes of Joan Didion, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tom Wolfe, and James Joyce, and examines its unique representation of the American dream through lemonade stands. A favorite subject of art history’s giants, the lemon captivates in the still lifes of Old Masters and inspired the breakthroughs of modern visionaries like Picasso, Matisse, and Warhol. Lemons also find themselves at the cutting edge of design in Philippe Starck’s iconic Juicy Salif and the unassuming yet revolutionary Jif Lemon. Their presence extends to the decorative arts, gracing everything from Arts and Crafts wallpapers to mythological ceramics. Even the famed Bloomsbury Group found lemons entangled in their literary love affairs.

But most of all... it includes over 60 recipes from lemons.
