Simply Citrus Book Review and Citrus Hummus

Simply Citrus is a beautiful book with citrus inspired recipes written by Marie Asselin. Marie grew up in a Northern city in Canada with cold, long winters. As the weather warmed up and citrus fruits started to become more abundant, it would brighten her mood (we can all attest to that, am I right?) Her love for citrus started with a lemon meringue pie (a personal favourite of mine too). Today, I’m sharing a yummy recipe from the book, Citrus Hummus, so read on, my friends. Craving more?
