lemon

Role

Common forms

If you do not have it

• Lime · same volume
  More floral and more aggressive; it changes the dish rather than standing in for it.
• White wine vinegar · half the volume
  Acid without the aroma. Fine when the lemon was there to cut richness, wrong when it was there to taste of lemon.
