Cooking tips

• Lemons are a popular citrus fruit used in endless recipes – from marinades, sauces and preserves to drinks, desserts and sweet and savoury dishes. The zest and juice are both valuable ingredients that will add a bright and tangy flavour to any dish.  
• Squeeze lemon over your steamed greens to keep them looking vibrant, and enhance their flavour as well.  
• Lemon curd is easy to make. Simple whisk eggs and sugar in a saucepan over low heat, then add butter, lemon juice and lemon zest and continue whisking until thick. Ideal served with scones, in a lemon tart or even with yoghurt.  
• Preserved lemons can be used in almost everything, from roast chicken to lemon pies. Simply place lemon segments in a clean jar with salt and boiling water (you can also add a bay leaf if you like), and let them sit for six weeks before using.
