Simply Citrus
By Marie Asselin • Catherine Cote, Photographer
Simply Citrus is a sunny, beautifully photographed book that contains 60 recipes that make clever use of fresh citrus fruits, including lemons, limes, oranges, mandarins, grapefruit, pomelos, kumquats, and citrus products such as yuzu juice, orange blossom water, and preserved lemons in a variety of appetizers, soups, salads, main dishes, desserts, and drinks. Chapters are organized by fruit, which means it’s easy to find a delicious recipe to use the citrus fruits you have on hand.
Jalapeño Crab Cakes with Corn Salsa, Broiled Fish Tacos with Avocado-Grapefruit Salsa, Orange and Ginger Pork Sliders with Slaw; Coconut Lemon Bars; Orange, Date, and Walnut Cake with Orange Butterscotch Sauce; Grapefruit and Pomegranate Pavlova; and Maple Paloma Cocktail are just a few of the delightful dishes included in this zesty cookbook.
I started editing most of the reviews in 2016 because my PhD in English (a humblebrag if you’ve ever seen one) has to be put to use somehow. So I know “the about” all the books and how good they are, which is super cool in general but also terrible for my budget. And I’m the one insisting on the Oxford comma. It’s the hill I’ll die on. I would kidnap Lily the office dog if a) I didn’t have three cats, b) I don’t also love Heidi and Ross and would never hurt them, and c) I didn’t just make a public record of intent to commit a crime. I also help with posting articles to the websites and doing book round-up articles.
