Citrus, Illustrated by George Geary is a brightly illustrated guide to all things citrus! Learn about these beautiful and practical fruits, why to cherish them, and how to put them to good use, including 35 sensational recipes.

From the ubiquitous navel orange to the lesser-known Fukushu kumquat to the straight-up-funky Buddha’s hand citron, citrus comes in many forms. Knowing exactly how and when to best harness their bright essences can be a challengeβ€”until now. This handy little cookbook offers a fascinating exploration of over 25 citrus varieties and their many uses, from enriching simple dishes to the oils of the peel and juice of the fruit.

Featuring 35 sweet and savoury recipes that will help you use up a bumper crop or make the most of the brightest fruits of the season, including:

  • Mojito Tea Cake with Rum Glaze
  • Pink Grapefruit and Tomato Salsa
  • Buddha’s Hand Vodka Martini
  • Kumquat and Pineapple Chutney
  • Tart Lemon Curd
  • and more!

Charming citrus-bright illustrations throughout make this resource guideβ€”also packed with historical background on each fruit, attributes, nutritional and health benefits, availability, and moreβ€”an inspiring gift for home cooks and bakers, fruit lovers, and anyone interested in maximising their use and enjoyment of luscious citrus fruits.

Delicious Citrus Recipes: Delight in beautiful illustrations celebrating citrus fruits and learn to make savoury and sweet dishes and drinks, including appetisers, salads, main dishes, sides, breads, desserts, and cocktails.

Gift for Citrus Lovers: For friends with their own fruit trees, or just fruit obsessions, this is the perfect present. Pair with a fancy juicing tool, a pretty bowl, or a basket of fruit from the farmer's market to create a zesty bundle.

Fruit Forward: Whether displayed lovingly on a coffee table, propped up next to a bowl of citrus fruits, or arranged with other cookbooks on a shelf, this beautifully illustrated recipe book is just as fun to look at as it is to use.

Perfect for:

  • Citrus lovers
  • Home cooks and bakers of all levels
  • Anyone looking to add the nutritional benefits of citrus to their diet
  • Gift-giving for housewarming, host/hostess, birthday, or spring/summer seasonal celebrations
  • Fans of Cheese, Illustrated and Pickles, Illustrated
