Pucker: A Cookbook for Citrus Lovers Reviewed by Ruth Paget
Pucker: A Cookbook for Citrus Lovers by Gwendolyn Richards, a Calgary Herald food writer from Alberta Province (Canada), provides several recipes of interest for agricultural sales in places like California.
The recipes that I thought looked especially interesting include:
-baked ricotta dipping pots with lemon and chives
-shaved Brussels sprouts, shaved shallots, and chopped walnut salad with lemon dressing
-chopped asparagus cubes (raw) with chopped green onions and sliced almonds with lemon dressing
-roasted sheet pan lemon potatoes with garlic and oregano. After 15 minutes of baking, you add chicken stock and lemon juice to make the potatoes very tender. (A rimmed baking sheet would cut down on oven mess.)
-linguine with tuna and lemon dressing with arugula leaves mixed in
Citrus lovers will enjoy the recipes for lemons, Meyer lemons (a cross between lemons and oranges), limes, and grapefruit in Pucker as well as chefs, busy young professionals, college students who like gourmet food, farmers’ market patrons, and world travelers.
