Lemon Olive Oil: Perfect for Catherine J. Gardner's New Chapbook


That's right, Catherine J. Gardner has a sweet little book available from Bucket o' Guts Press for only $6 U.S. I enjoy Cate's work (which has recently appeared in Fantasy Magazine and slated for Space and Time & PostScripts...yeah, that's right), and you should too.

Go to Bucket o' Guts website to order.

While you're waiting for your chapbook to arrive via post, you may want a snack. (Well, I'm usually hungry) I bring you a recipe for Lemon Olive Oil, which goes wonderfully on a crisp salad:


Lemon Olive Oil Recipe

Ingredients:

1 large fresh lemon
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp. of peppercorns
1 c. of extra-virgin olive oil

Directions :

Scrub the lemon to remove surface impurities; rinse and dry well.
Heat a small, heavy saucepan to medium-low.
In a small bowl, zest the lemon into the olive oil.
Add bay leaf and peppercorns.
Transfer to the saucepan and heat for 10 minutes. Do not allow to scorch.
Cool slightly.
Transfer to a hot, sterilized bottle and seal.

This can be stored at room temperature for up to two months.
