Lemon Recipes
Lemons really are a desert island must-have ingredient: they offer a refreshing end to any meal in desserts, and certainly add zest to fish recipes and Middle Eastern food. Enjoy Delia's cheesecakes and other lemony treats.
Serves 6Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake with a Confit of Lemons
Although it may not be the obvious choice at the end of a rich meal, the light and fluffy texture of this cheesecake, and its hit of lemon makes it ideal. The confit needs to be made a day in advance.
Serves 4Lemon Pasta with Herbs and Cracked Pepper
Light and fresh with zingy citrus and herbs: what more could you want from a veggie pasta dish when you're hungry but don't have much time to cook?
Serves 6Individual Sussex Pond Puddings with Lemon Butter Sauce
A real classic, this dessert is wintry and wonderful: dip your spoon into the soft sponge to release a pool of lemony sauce at the bottom. What could be better?
Serves 2Lemon Souffle Omelette
Lemony, light and truly sensational: souffle omelettes allow you to ring the changes and make a speedy supper for two in no time at all!
Serves 4Hot Lemon Curd Souffles
Another souffle recipe that is perfect for entertaining as it doesn't collapse, allowing you time to get the dessert on to the table. The hot lemon curd is a revelation!

With a name like this, it's hardly surprising that Canary puddings are such a hit in the restaurant at Norwich City FC. Whether you're a Norwich supporter or not, this dessert will score every time!
Makes five 0.5 litre jarsLemon and Lime Marmalade
This is a very refreshing marmalade, good wake-up food on a dull morning. Its other advantage is that it can be made at any time of the year. Although this does need fast boiling, the quantity is small enough for a modern hob.
Serves 8-10 – makes 2½ pints (1.5 litres)Lemon Meringue Ice Cream
This is sharp, very lemony and most refreshing, truly an ice cream for summer. We have found that the shop-bought meringues actually work better than home-made ones for this as they retain their crunchiness.
Serves 3-4Lemon Parsley Potatoes
New potatoes are something it is hard to get enough of so, when you've enjoyed them hot with mint and butter and cold with mayonnaise, here is something a little different: take parsley, lemon and lots of freshly ground pepper and make a dressing. Th
