Celebrating Citrus

Mary Sue and Susan are celebrating citrus, loving lemons and limes, and obsessed with oranges. And they have the recipes to prove it with everything from savory Yucatecan Chicken and Lime Broth and Turkey Breast with Lemon Butter to Lime Coconut Pie and Citrus Cheesecake.

Citrus Tip: Mary Sue and Susan use citrus as their secret weapon in the kitchen, adding a squeeze of lemon or lime to just about everything from soups and sauces to desserts and cocktails. Citrus is an amazing tool for bringing out natural flavors and balancing spicy, rich, or sweet dishes with a nice acidic counterpoint. We don’t call them the acid queens for nothing!
