Awesome book by B. Voigtritter
After using this recipe book extensively, we had to share it and start giving copies away. An excellent way to use all those lemons on your tree!

great book, not what I was expecting by anonymous
So far, all the recipes I have tried have been fabulous, Ms. Longbotham has put together another winner for me! I do also have her Luscious Lemon Desserts book, which is great, but I found some recipes from that book to be duplicated in this one. I was also expecting a bit more. This book is filled with great sounding recipes, but few within each category (such as vegetables, meats, desserts, etc.) so I was left wanting more. I guess that just shows how tempting all the recipes sound! I would have given this five stars but for the duplicates I came across and would definitely recommend this book to anyone with a love of lemon. We also loved the Lemon Fettuccine and have been fans of the Lemon Curd since we bought the dessert book!

Love It by Cooking Mama
Lemons are great. This cookbook is great. If you love lemons - you will surely appreciate the food ideas presented in this book

Crazy for Lemon by
I simply love this book. It is clear that the author spent a lot of time researching and getting lots of good information for us home cooks. I never dreamed there were so many ways to use this inexpensive citrus fruit. Lori’s recipes using the zest, peel, fruit, juice have opened my eyes to the many flavorful possibilities that abound. I will never waste any part of lemons again! It was so smart to include ways to add lemon to favorite recipes I already use. I also found her recipes creative and easy to follow. Best of all, they work. So far, my favorite Lemon Zest recipes are delectable Creamy Lemon Fettuccine (few ingredients and delicious), Steamed Sea Bass with Ginger, Lemon, and Scallions (not fattening but flavorful), and scrumptious Lemon Pound Cake ( lemony and moist.)
