Lemons and Limes, Ursula Ferrigno

From fresh seafood to luxurious pasta and heavenly desserts—using lemons and limes in your cooking will make your food sing. A squeeze of lemon juice can bring a dull sauce or lacklustre soup to life as its tartness cuts through and brings out flavor in a subtler (and healthier) way than salt. Smaller, sharper, but more intensely fragrant than lemons, limes work best with exotic, spicy food. Some dishes call for the sharp, clear lift of lemon, at other times the richer fragrance of lime is more appropriate.
