This week we're going to Zest It Up ... diving into all those lovely Nigel Slater recipes that feature endlessly versatile citrus fruits.
Oranges, lemons, mandarins, tangelos, tangerines, grapefruit, limes, clementines, kumquats, even those extraordinary looking Buddha's hands, if you're lucky enough to be able to find one - the variety of citrus fruit available is incredible. And even more limitless are the uses to which you can put them. Citrus lends itself to both sweet and savoury applications. It can play the starring role as the hero ingredient of your dish, or be the support player which makes all the other ingredients shine.
Whichever way you decide to go, Nigel will be able to help you bring a little sunshine into your week and zest things up.
