Our fascination with lemons extends far into history, depicted in various art forms, from still lifes to pop art, and mentioned in literature by notable authors. When The Gourmand magazine editors searched for a new subject for their ingredient-celebrating book series, lemons stood out as a prime candidate.

Highlighting lemons' prominence, the book features artworks by renowned artists, alongside essays, recipes, and modern photography, offering a comprehensive exploration of this citrus king. A notable mention is an exquisite Egyptian wall painting, showcasing lemons' long-standing aesthetic and cultural significance.
