Description

TASCHEN · The Gourmand

A lemon is never just a lemon – it’s a Medici treasure, invisible ink and the star of 60 recipes.

“The Gourmand’s Lemon” is the second volume in the series TASCHEN publishes with the cult London magazine The Gourmand – a hybrid of art book and cookbook. The lemon was the star of the Medici gardens, protected sailors from scurvy and has served as invisible ink since the 7th century. The book follows it through the literature of Joan Didion, F. Scott Fitzgerald and James Joyce and through art from the Old Masters to Picasso, Matisse and Warhol. Add 60 recipes from the world’s kitchens – poultry, sauces, cocktails and desserts – photographed by Bobby Doherty. Foreword: Simon Hopkinson, introduction: Jennifer Higgie. English edition, 272 pages.

Is it a cookbook or an art book?

Both. Germany’s Welt am Sonntag calls it a hybrid of illustrated book and cookbook. There are 60 recipes to cook plus stories, photography and artworks about the lemon. One buyer sums it up: “All about Lemons, nicely curated. High end look and feel.”

What is The Gourmand?

The Gourmand is a food and culture magazine founded in London in 2011 by David Lane and Marina Tweed. It connects food with art, design, literature, film and fashion; its work has been featured in the New York Times, the Guardian and Die Zeit and exhibited at the Design Museum London. Together with TASCHEN it publishes a book series in which each volume is devoted to a single ingredient.

Who is the book a good gift for?
