Here’s how to cut the perfect lemon wedge that doesn’t slip out of your fingers as you squeeze it, or drop pips on your food, or squirt your neighbour in the eye. First cut the lemon lengthways into six or eight wedges. Cut both ends squarely off each lemon wedge. Then cut along the thin edge of each wedge, to remove the pith and allow you to flick out the seeds.
