Review # 1 was written on 2016-10-18 00:00:00 Hugo Zapata Who would write an entire cookbook about how to make lemonade? Probably an author who wrote an entire cookbook about how to make iced tea (Fred Thompson, Iced Tea, Boston, MA: Harvard Common Press, 2002). This little book offers just enough of the art and science of crafting really fine lemonade (and other lemon-juice-based drinks) to allow the creative cook to jump off from the recipes in new directions which might even surprise Thompson. He admits a Southern U.S. bias but that does not prevent him from appreciating Italian, French. Hawaiian and Asian flavours. He offers some tasty innovations: blueberry lemonade, watermelon lemonade, and ginger-infused lemonade which is truly excellent. The book concludes with suggestions for alcoholic drinks, one of which he insists is perfect for Mothers Day. I think I'd like his mother.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-12-14 00:00:00 Fernando Rodriguez We Southerners think we know everything about lemonade, but not till I read Fred Thompson's fascinating book did I realize that the drink could be so versatile and downright sophisticated. He has delved into the subject like nobody else, and never again can I take this old-fashioned refreshment for granted. A delightful new book that should have been written decades ago. James Villas
