  1. It’s incredible: scrolling through each and every lemony recipe, I’m salivating just imagining them all – from your Lemon Drop Martini to all the luscious cakes. Thanks so much for including the lemon and almond cake and for the lemon meringue passion tarts. I can just imagine all the wonderful delights coming out of your kitchen with your 2 Meyer lemon trees! Thanks for the Californian sunshine, Christina x

  2. Quite a collection, Christina! I’d be hard pressed to choose my favorite. But if I had to, I might go for the syllabub (which I’ve never tried) or that old standby, the granita…

  3. What a delicious collection of fresh lemon recipes, Christina. Taking after my mom, lemon desserts are my favorite (right after chocolate), and I want to try so many of these. I have one very small Meyer lemon tree, but it produces dozens of lemons each year. I can’t wait until they all turn yellow! Thanks so much for including my flan! :-) ~Valentina

  4. Your lemon drop martini is one of the first recipes I came across years ago. I must try it as I’ve started to broaden my alcohol palette:-) Loving this round-up as lemon works so well with sweet recipes:-) Thanks for including my muffins!

    1. Oh goodness, you definitely have to try the lemon drop martini! It’s actually scary that it doesn’t seem like there’s alcohol in it! Haha! Be careful! :)
