  Re: Foodycats comment about quantities, I think the +2tbs etc only applies to the American volume measures. In the UK only the gram measurements need to be used.

Notes about Recipes in this book

• Orange, melon and ginger gazpacho

  • danielle_7tm5qm on December 31, 2025

    Have made many times. It’s truly perfection.

• Yuzu prawn cocktail

  • Anea25 on August 12, 2024

    a solid shrimp cocktail recipe but nothing exceptional

• Feta, cantaloupe and lime salad

  • Anea25 on July 11, 2024

    the dressing really makes the dish.

• Lime-marinated fish with a lime, garlic and basil sauce

  • Anea25 on August 08, 2024

    a solid fish recipe - given the ingredients I expected stronger flavours

• Beef short ribs with lemongrass and lime

  • lkgrover on August 22, 2021

    Good, slow-cooked beef short ribs stew. Sauce is flavorful with a strong lime component. I left out the palm sugar (and alternative brown sugar).

• Pork and pomelo stir fry

  • lkgrover on February 24, 2019

    Light, refreshing flavors which I don't normally associate with stir-fry. I served with fine udon noodles, which absorbed the sauce well.

• Citrus risotto

  • lkgrover on December 07, 2022

    Excellent lemon risotto, with the lemony flavor I wanted. I zested 2 small lemons, and juiced one. Also added capers & Aleppo chile flakes at the end, which the author recommends.

• Buttered courgettes with lemon and nutmeg

  • lkgrover on June 27, 2021

    Lovely zucchini with a light citrus & herb butter.

• Stir-fried cucumbers with orange and Szechuan peppercorns

  • mcvl on March 29, 2022

    A touch too sweet for me. I think another time I might cut the juice with white wine, or even white wine vinegar. Nice idea, though -- love those mouth-numbing peppers.

• Citrus butter biscuits

  • Anea25 on October 19, 2024

    nice texture but I would add more zest

• Liquorice and lemon sherbet fairy cakes

  • pamelagarelick on May 27, 2023

    I didn't have the crystallized lime so I mixed lime juice, icing (confectionners sugar).and licorice to make the icing (frosting). My IKEA licorice (all we can get here didn't melt as expected, so I whizzed it I'm a mini food processor yo get the consistency I wanted. Great compliment of flavours. Would make again.

• Lemon curd slices

  • Foodycat on October 07, 2020

    I used a jar of bought passionfruit curd instead of making my own. I used a food processor for both the shortbread base and the crumble topping, so it was very quick to pull together. I found the quantity "200g + 2tbs" absolutely infuriating. Is that 220g or 230? Who knows? I initially assumed the extra 2tbs was for something else but if it was I couldn't spot it in the recipe. It tastes good though. Lovely texture!

• Rum and marmalade loaf cake

  • Eleanorconroy on March 25, 2025

    Nice, simple recipe and certainly keeps well. I didn't have the dark and stormy marmalade so added stem ginger as per the recipe suggestion, but I might try it without that next time

• Classic Seville orange marmalade

  • Eleanorconroy on February 04, 2025

    This turned out nicely and I'd make it again, but this amount only filled 3 and a half 450g jars, not 10! Next year I'll definitely double the recipe

  ...I love citrus for its colour and the lift it offers dishes. A book on citrus is such a fantastic idea
