Let's talk Meyer lemons
/Meyer lemons are one of my all-time favorite ingredients. Thought to be native to China and a cross between a lemon and either a regular orange or mandarin, the Meyer has a thin, shiny, smooth skin, is wonderfully fragrant and imparts such a lovely flavor to most anything it's added.

Another transcendentally good dish is a Spaghetti al Limone made with Meyer lemon juice, cream and white pepper. Aah.
