All feature great color photographs, personal introductions, and, when needed, step-by-step, illustrated directions. A bonus is Contaldo's outline of the three uses of lemons: for cleaning, as medicine, and in recipes. --Booklist The Amalfi Coast is known for extra-sweet, thick-skinned lemons, and native Contaldo digs into the area's flavor in a collection as bright and cheerful as its subject ... Whether codifying the 17-day process for crafting limoncello or explaining how friends at a hometown pastry shop candy citrus peel, Contaldo evokes joy. --Publishers Weekly
