FAQ’s

What flavours go with lemon?

Lemons are a versatile, yet strong zesty flavour that pairs well with both sweet and savoury dishes. Herbs like basil, mint and rosemary can be used with lemons in salads, marinades and sauces. While a pairing of honey or vanilla and lemon can create tasty desserts. Then there’s seafood, with lemon being a natural flavour to enhance the flavours of foods like fish, prawns and scallops. 

What to serve with lemon desserts? 

Lemon desserts are loved for their bright and tangy flavour, pairing with a variety of accompaniments. Some of our favourites include:

    • A dollop (or two) of whipped cream.
    • Fresh berries like strawberries, raspberries or blueberries.
    • A scoop of vanilla ice cream.
    • Sauces like caramel or chocolate drizzled over the dessert. 

Why do you put lemon in cheesecake? 

Aside from adding flavour, lemon and lemon juice is added to cheesecake for a range of reasons. Lemon juice can be a great way to prevent the cream cheese from clumping. The juice can help create a smooth, creamy cheesecake batter.
