Los Angeleno's have it pretty good.There's that sunny weather , the nearby beaches and those movie and TV star sightings.There's also Lemonade, a mini chain offering delicious food and sweets for everyone to enjoy. Now chef Alan Jackson along with Joanne Cianciulli have written a cookbook featuring the restaurant's tasty and refreshing dishes.
The Lemonade Cookbook , published by St. Marten's Press, has the mini chain's recipes. There are all sorts , from salads to sweets. Some have a SoCal twist, featuring a plethora of veggies in hot and cold dishes. I love their salad section. There are a few interesting combinations.such as a hot salad consisting of olive oil braised lima beans with garlic chips and lemon that would be the perfect holiday meal side/ Other veggies are also mixed into a variety of different blends. Chef Jackson also brings us homey recipes such as buttermilk baked chicken and pulled pork with barbecue sauce. Exotic dishes like harissa and tangine are also included as are Lemonade's famed pot roast sandwiches.
Lemonade is known for its' sweet endings as well. The dessert section is great, with all sorts of tasty sweets, again perfect for holiday baking. Bakers will love the on trend pistachio macaron recipe as well the chocolate cake. Fancier ones such as chocolate pot de creme and raspberry Linzer tortes are also in the book. Of course the restaurant's signature drink, lemonade has several interesting and refreshing recipes.Mr Jackson bases them on agua frescas, the stimulating fruit ades that Mexican street vendors sell on Los Angeles streets. Lemonade itself, represents the sunny easiness of Southern California life and it is a big part of a lunch or dinner at Lemonade.
If you want So Cal recipes or are a big Lemonade fan then The Lemonade Cookbook is for you.It's a great blend of refreshing drinks and salads along with homey dishes. It's the perfect go to book for both everyday and holiday meals.
