"The River Café chef and the L.A. artist collaborate on an illustrated tribute to the beauty and versatility of lemons." — PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY"Published by Rizzoli, Squeeze Me: Lemon Recipes & Art gathers 50 ways of cooking and drinking with lemons, from sweet and savoury plates to cocktails and desserts, all prepared with the pared-back simplicity for which the River Café is celebrated. Each is accompanied by an original artwork by Ruscha, who is best known for his word paintings and laconic takes on the American landscape. For the book, he devised images of lemons cut, peeled or halved, overlayed with lemon-inflected quotations and aphorisms in his signature typeface, 'Boy Scout Utility Modern.'" — WALLPAPER* MAGAZINE"It is a recipe book that only Ruthie Rogers could pull off.
