The Great Citrus Book:
A Guide With Recipes
by Allen Susser
Paperback (1997) |
| Summer lemonade stands, oranges in
Christmas stockings, lime margaritas and breakfast grapefruits mean "citrus" to
most people. This concentrated reference and cookbook extends our knowledge of Genus
Citrus' eight major species in great detail with history, geography, climate (the key to
how the fruit develops), appearance, nutritional value and recipes. Lois Ellen
Frank's clear photographs of the 102 varieties are paired with descriptive
paragraphs. Chef Allen Susser's specialty is New World Cuisine and it influences the
38 unique recipes. No citrus cookbook is complete without original recipes, and The
Great Citrus Book offers some new versions of old favorites: Frozen Key Lime Pie, Blood
Orange Marmalade and Lemon Meringue Kisses with Lemon Curd. The Great Citrus Book is
a sunny addition to any cookbook shelf. |

Oranges
by John McPhee
Paperback (1991) |
| Oranges was conceived as a short magazine
piece, but thanks to John McPhee's unparalleled investigative skills, became a slim,
fact-filled book. As McPhee chronicles orange farmers struggling with frost
and horticulturists' new breeds of citrus, oranges come to seem a microcosm of man's
relationship with nature. |
