Pucker up! Lemons are a secret weapon in your fruit bowl, ready to take your cooking to the next level. A squeeze of lemon juice brightens up creamy pasta sauces, and the bright flavor cuts through rich, fatty cuts of meat.

Lemon zest adds a citrusy explosion to everything from marinades to cakes. These 25 sweet and savory lemon recipes will convince you of the humble lemon’s magical cooking power.
