We got a little taste of spring this weekend, but I’m not falling for it — winter isn’t done with us yet! While we eagerly wait for the bright green produce that spring brings, I’m waking up our table with a hit of citrus.
Luckily for us, Our Lady of East Hampton is also a citrus queen. Ina uses it to wake up roasted vegetables, sharpen a simple roast chicken, and turn desserts that might feel a little heavy into something balanced and bright.
Today I’m sharing my favorite Ina Garten lemon, orange, and grapefruit recipes to help get you through this last month (fingers crossed 🤞) of cold weather.
