Gennaro’s Limoni: Vibrant Italian Recipes Celebrating the Lemon Cookbook Giveaway
January 17, 2022 by JennyEnter our US/UK/worldwide giveaway to win one of four copies of Gennaro’s Limoni: Vibrant Italian Recipes Celebrating the Lemon by Gennaro Contaldo. EYB will provide one additional copy worldwide.
The Amalfi Coast and lemons are a match made in heaven. The sweet, aromatic, large and thick-skinned Sfusato Amalfitano (take a look at how magnificent the Sfusato Amalfitano is at the link) is what Gennaro Contaldo grew up with.
Lemons were and still are a part of daily life for locals of the Amalfi Coast, and, when Gennaro came to the UK over 40 years ago he continued this tradition. No part of the lemon is wasted – flesh, pith and skin are chopped into salads, juice is drizzled over meat, fish and veggies, while the aromatic zest adds a complexity to a dish’s flavour. Even the leaves are used to wrap meat, fish and cheese for extra flavour, or finely chopped and made into a tea infusion.
Lemons can cleanse, refresh, preserve, ‘cook’ and add a vibrant flavour to dishes as giving colour and an uplifting aroma. From Ravioli with ricotta, lemon and mint, and Sicilian chicken involtini, to Lemon biscuits, and Coffee and lemon semi-freddo, this is not only a beautiful and inspiring homage to the most revered of fruit but Gennaro’s most inspirational book to date.
Chapters include an introduction: The Amalfi Lemon and Lemons in the Kitchen followed by Small Plates; Vegetables; Fish; Meat; Desserts; Drinks & Preserves; Sauces & Dressings. I am a lemon fanatic myself and look forward to trying the Lemon tiramisu and the Lemon and herb-infused roast chicken with lemon gravy. Yes, of course, many cooks utilize the beauty of the lemon in their chicken recipes but lemon gravy – sign me up!
