Top Picks - Favorite Lemony Recipes  from your Italian Food Guide
Lemons are, after oranges, the most popular citrus fruit grown in Italy. While some gourmands frown at squeezing a lemon over fried foods, e.g. veal cutlets or fish -- they say it masks the flavor of the food -- I find a little freshly squeezed lemon to be quite refreshing, especially on a hot day.

2) Favorite Summer Pasta Dishes
Refreshing foods that will be very nice when it gets hot, and if the past week is any indication, we'll soon need them.

3) On Pesto
