Round Up Of Veggie/Fruit A Month Event - Lemon

Finally, its time for the Round Up friends.. I am so glad that I got to host this event. You guys made it perfect with your amazing recipes.. :) 

I was amazed to see the number of dishes you can make using lemon. I always tied lemon with lemon juice alone. Now thats what I call ignorance!! I am glad I dont think so anymore.. Lemon has a wide variety of uses in both the culinary and non-culinary world. It is used for aromatherapy, face cleansing (and many more things) apart from the huge list of culinary uses such as baking, pickling and so on.

Here are the lip-smacking recipes from our friends.

The first one comes from Janet. This combination of braised tempeh and green beans with lemon-sesame sauce is surely going to make you guys hungry. I am telling ya.. check it out.. And be sure to check out her space "The Taste Space"..




The next one comes from Rasya Srinath of "Veg Food & Me". Her tangy lemon pickle makes me want to go home even more. Feeling hungry right? Me too..



Hema is sharing her Lemon Custard Cakes with us. And boy, dont they look cute.. Do check the recipe at her space "Aromatic Cooking"




Surabhi's lemony lemon rice is one of my all-time favorite comfort food. Check out the recipe at her space "My Cook Book".



Last but not the least is my turn.. Yup.. I thought a lot and finally decided upon a Lemon Cake.. And the fact is that it came out so nice.. Really.. check it out.. I even took it to a friend of ours who were  celebrating their 25th anniversary.. Here is a look :)


Thank you so much all of you for all the encouragement friends. I hope you enjoyed the event and loved all the recipes. See you all soon..
