The New York Times bestselling author of the Love & Lemons cookbooks is back with simple, ingenious hacks to level up the flavor in your everyday cooking.

What are you craving? Whether it’s something hot and peppery, zingy and light, or crispy and crunchy, Jeanine Donofrio, creator of the wildly successful Love & Lemons blog, has developed the perfect formula to deliver maximum flavor. In Love & Lemons Pop of Flavor, Jeanine encourages you to let your cravings be your guide when cooking. This is Love & Lemons at its most imaginative, flexible, and flavor packed.

For Jeanine, the secret to making exciting meals with a fresh spin is relying on flavor-boosting components. Each chapter focuses on a different category—Saucy, Spicy, Crunchy, Herby, Tangy, or Sweet—and highlights a handful of Jeanine’s go-to components along with simple meals. Try her Eggplant Yogurt Sauce drizzled on Zucchini Gyros and Falafel Spiced Sheet Pan Fries. Or use Jalapeño Radish Pickles to spice up Smoky Potato Tacos and Cold Ginger Sesame Udon noodles. Sesame Nori Crisp adds a satisfying texture to Caramelized Onion Pasta and Root Vegetable Okonomiyaki. Always easy to prep ahead and repurpose, these sauces, sprinkles, and more will become your secret weapons to banish any cooking rut for good. They’ll make any meal irresistible.
