La Limone: A Memoir La Limone Kitchen Cookbook

The books

Two books. One story.

A memoir and a cookbook, written to be read together. The life first, then the table it was rebuilt around. Sixty-plus lemon-forward recipes, and the stories of family, food and faith that carried Joanna through to them.

Meet Joanna

Wife, mother, grandmother, cook.

I started working at ten, left school in grade ten, built businesses, lost some, started again, and at sixty-four I published my first book. La Limone is what came out of all of it: a memoir, a cookbook, and a stubborn belief that life does not have to be perfect to be delicious.

You still have plenty of juice left, and more zest than you give yourself credit for.

Her story

New recipes, notes from the kitchen and the occasional lemon-flavored life lesson. A letter now and then, never a flood.
