Alan Jackson - The Lemonade Cookbook
After years working in LA’s fine dining scene, Chef Alan Jackson saw the need for quick, affordable food that didn’t come at the expense of taste or imagination. A busy father of 3, he realized that the options for a quick bite or take-out were limited, and not particularly healthy. Seeking to create a chef-driven approach to healthy dining, he opened his first fast-casual eatery Lemonade in 2007 and 12 more since.
A modern cafeteria where visitors enjoy a rotating daily spread of deliciousness, Lemonade offers fresh fare that tastes as though every culture is stirred into the pot. Now, THE LEMONADE COOKBOOK takes the bold flavors, imaginative dishes, and Southern California lifestyle that have made the Lemonade brand a huge hit and capture them in a fresh, beautifully designed, full-color cookbook.
With an emphasis on simple preparations with an inventive global taste, THE LEMONADE COOKBOOK speaks to all cooks who want to make sophisticated, highly urban comfort food with ease and is the perfect fit for today’s on-the-go lifestyles and perceptive palates.
