Description
TASCHEN · Illustrated Book
The book that turns lemons into art – and ensures you’ll never look at one the same way again.
A lemon is never just a lemon. The Gourmand’s Lemon by TASCHEN proves it across 272 pages: from Baroque painting to Andy Warhol, from Joan Didion to James Joyce, the lemon has inspired art and literature like almost no other fruit. Rounded off by original recipes celebrating its versatility, and a design that AD calls a model example of TASCHEN’s “keen sense of design quality” – right down to the marbled endpapers. Hardcover, 20 × 27.9 cm, 1.32 kg. Dorset Magazine: “A book of incredible beauty and would make the perfect gift.”

Questions & Answers
What is The Gourmand?
The Gourmand is a British magazine and publishing project that places food at the intersection of art and culture – with an editorial eye that combines food journalism and illustrated-book aesthetics. In collaboration with TASCHEN, the series explores individual ingredients and themes with literary and art-historical depth. The Gourmand’s Lemon is the second volume in this series.
What is this book actually about?
The lemon – but genuinely the lemon. The book explores its literary, linguistic, historic and gastronomic legacy: the lemon as a subject of Baroque painting, as a motif in Rousseau, Warhol, Joan Didion and James Joyce, as a kitchen ingredient and cultural phenomenon. Süddeutsche Zeitung calls it “a kind of almanac of the lemon.” Corriere della Sera: “A concentrate of art, cinema, history and literature.”
Does the book include actual recipes?
Yes. Alongside the cultural and artistic content, the volume features original recipes celebrating the versatility and complexity of the lemon – from simple everyday preparations to more composed dishes. ORF: “A book that pays homage to the queen of citrus fruits, provides simple recipes and asks: why does the lemon make you happy?”
Who is this book a good gift for?
Ideal for everyone who understands food as culture: cooking enthusiasts, art lovers, design aficionados, garden fans and anyone who appreciates a gift that surprises and moves. n-tv: “The sight alone is the start of summer.” Particularly well-received as a birthday, dinner-party host or Mother’s Day gift.
Does it work as a coffee table book?
AD praises the design explicitly: “TASCHEN demonstrates its keen sense of design quality – evident not only in the excellent illustrations, but also in fine details such as the marbled endpapers.” At 20 × 27.9 cm it is more intimate than the XXL volumes, but visually strong enough to command attention on any table. Eurowings Magazine: “Truly a bible of good taste.”
Do I need to read English well to enjoy it?
The visual component is very high: illustrations, artworks and photography make the volume accessible and enjoyable even without deep English reading skills. The imagery alone tells the story of the lemon across centuries of art history.
