About

Lemon bars are a US classic, so I turned to one of the grand dames of American baking, Alice Medrich, for inspiration in this recipe. It was her saying that some deemed her bars too lip-puckeringly sour that made me know I would love them.

I have taken a liberty with Anglo-American relations, adding a British twist with the flavours of gin. Everyone knows gin and lemon are the perfect match, so it follows that the spirit’s key botanicals - juniper and coriander seed - fit beautifull
