The Gourmand's Lemon - Opracowanie zbiorowe - książka
Producent: Taschen
The enchanting lemon, outwardly simple yet rich in history, takes the spotlight in the second collaboration between TASCHEN and The Gourmand, experts in merging the worlds of food and art. Once a symbol of power in the Renaissance gardens that influenced the Medici dynasty, the lemon has played various roles, from curing scurvy to quietly scripting hidden messages since the 7th century with its juice turned invisible ink. The Gourmand delves into the intricate genealogy of this vibrant fruit, highlighting its influence in literature through authors like Joan Didion, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tom Wolfe, and James Joyce. It also examines the iconic American lemonade stand as a unique reflection of the American dream.
The lemon has caught the imagination of many art history luminaries, appearing in the still lifes of the Old Masters and sparking innovation in the works of Picasso, Matisse, and Warhol. In design, it has made its mark with Philippe Starck's renowned Juicy Salif and the understated but groundbreaking Jif Lemon. Lemons also appear in the realm of decorative arts, embellishing everything from Arts and Crafts wallpapers to mythological ceramics. Their influence even reached the literary circles of the Bloomsbury Group.
Accompanying these fascinating narratives is a foreword by the celebrated chef and food writer Simon Hopkinson, and an introduction by art critic and author Jennifer Higgie. The book features over 60 lemon-focused recipes from various cuisines suitable for any occasion, including delicious poultry dishes, rich sauces, classic cocktails, and sumptuous desserts, all brought to life by the photographer Bobby Doherty.
