For Cat Cora, having a little citrus on hand is an absolute must. "Lemons specifically," says Cora. "I have lemons everywhere," the chef told Mashed, even noting that she has lemon trees in her backyard to pick them fresh for whatever she needs. According to Cora, that's a lot: "I love citrus on anything. I love citrus on food. I love citrus in cocktails. I love to squeeze a little citrus over my fish when I finish searing it."
For Cora, her love of lemons goes beyond the desire for a tangy kick. Lemon is a part of the chef's culinary and cultural upbringing. Cora says "lemon is, especially being Greek American, I think that's the one thing" that she'll always rely on. She added "that's the one thing that my mom, if nothing else, obviously, she has garlic, onions, and all the great, yummy fresh herbs ... but lemon is special. It really is."
