Coconut Lime Corn
This is a variation of an Indian dish my mother makes. I love corn and I especially love it cooked till its a bit crunchy or chewy. This has been simplified to just a few ingredients, but its a quick and delicious snack. - Lena S.

Lime rickey with sweet basil
I almost never drink anything other than coffee, wine or beer (oh, and water, of course!)...unless it is made with lime juice. After moving to the East Coast, I developed a penchant for lime rickeys. They're a refreshing summer drink, made even more delicious and refreshing with the addition of some muddled herbs. Mint is, of course, good, but I love the mild licorice punch added by using sweet basil. And, if you want to add a splash of rum or vodka, I definitely won't stop you!
Basil and lemongrass Iced Tea
A friend brought me some Lemongrass tea from the Seychelles and since I grow Basil and always have a good amount or I freeze excess basil. I have used this recipe many times. It was originally made with lemongrass stalks-which are more accessible. I will give the recipe with the stalks.
Basil Lemon Tea (Juice For Kidney Stones)
When my husband was in severe pain with Kidney Stones we whipped up this delicious and helpful Basil Juice recipe. Very refreshing and so easy to make!
Herbal or citrus ice
Well I was actually experimenting with making a sun tea from staghorn sumac berries recently, where I strained the berries to yield a pale pink lemonesque beverage. Somehow, I wanted to include the fuzzy berries, without them being a nuisance to the drink itself...so I froze some of the drink with some of the berries in an ice cube tray: Don't! The basil is too thin and it will oxidize. But your can use herbs with tougher more leathery leaves. Citrus peels will also work well. Since basil leaves are very thin, if you want to use them in an ice cube, it is best to infuse the water first and then remove the leaves before freezing. Using basil in the ice cube itself may look nice for a short time, but the leaves tend to turn a bit slimy when the cube melts.
Summer Cherry Diablo
I'm an oenophile, but that's about it when it comes to enjoyment of evening beverages. However, in anticipation of this cherry challenge, I asked my husband to pick up a bottle of tequila on Friday night. I had visions of a cherry sorbet tequila cocktail dancing in my head. Here we are on Sunday, tequila gone, my fingertips stained from pitting two pounds of cherries, and the Summer Cherry Diablo to show for it. Hard work, but someone has to do it, happily in the name of summertime, cherries, and food52. NOTE: This is my summertime take on the classic El Diablo, replacing Crème de cassis with my Summer Cherry Sorbet.
Lobster in Distress with Lemon and Thyme
A few months back I was having a late lunch at Bar Pinxto in Santa Monica. Tiny place with an open kitchen, I was able to watch the chef do his dinner prep, and basically crucifying lobsters by trussing them to long wooden spoons. Vegans should now avert their eyes. The reason for doing this is that as they're cooked the tails are held straight. But as a humane cook I prefer to give Monsieur Homard a quick and fast demise. So, I turn him on his back and with a wicked, sharp knife make a fast cut between the eyes, all the way back.
Thyme for a "Grilled" Lemon Martini
When I saw the lemon and thyme photo announcing this contest, I immediately thought of a "grilled" martini.
Lemon Verbena Scented Strawberry Peach Conserves
A few years ago, I started using lemon verbena to scent preserves. It's especially wonderful with strawberries and blueberries. And when you add peaches, it's positively magical. I use this conserve stirred into yogurt, warmed and spooned over ice cream, or served with pound cake. And for a completely different twist, stir a smashed garlic clove or two, marinate chicken or pork, then barbeque. Note: I specify frais de bois or Marie de bois, but any ripe, small, farm-fresh berry will do. I like the woodland berries as they can be kept whole, making a very pretty conserve. There is not sufficient sugar to can this safely, so freeze or refrigerate for up to a month.
Strawberry Lemon Marmalade
I really enjoy strawberry recipes with a hint of tartness, like eating a fresh strawberry. That's why you add lemon to this Strawberry Lemon Marmalade.
Artichokes with Parsley and Preserved Lemon Pesto
Basically, this Preserved Lemon Pesto recipe has been my go-to flavoring when I don't have much else on hand because it goes with just about anything! Try it!
California Orange Blossom
A neighbor's voluptuous orange tree + cocktail hour = this drink. Yum!
Meyer Lemon and Ginger Sorbet
Meyer lemon is so distinctive that it deserves to stand on its own. And it does in this Meyer lemon and ginger sorbet recipe--It's refreshing, tart, & perfect.
Meyer Lemon Shandy
I spent last year studying in London, and on hot summer days, my roommate and I used to sit outside on our patio, or in one of the beautiful public parks in London (hurrah for lack of public drinking bans!) and drink shandy, a delicious mix of lager and lemonade. I've updated the recipe to use Meyer lemons, which are available at my local market these days, but regular lemons work just fine! - ChristineB
Mouthwatering Watermelon Martini
I came up with this to please my girl friends in the hot tub while dreaming of warmer weather...April, May? Remember it's cold where I live. This was spring in a glass. Refreshing, cool, and hydrating. The mint and lime zest make it. Make sure the melon (you could use any kind) is ripe and remove the seeds. We love this,enjoy!
Grapefruit Blossom Aperitif
This fragrant grapefruit blossom aperitif cocktail recipe is a combination of a kir-the classic French combination of wine & blackcurrant syrup.
Lemon Rosemary Fizz
Very few ingredients come together for a delicious afternoon drink, best enjoyed in a garden, or at least while thinking of one! The rosemary simply syrup keeps well in the fridge if you have extra. - LindsayMaitland

Grilled Asparagus with lemon and garlic
This is a personally created recipe, though the basic flavors are pretty standard. It has been a success at many a barbecue.
Lemon Lime Margaritas
This lemon-lime margarita recipe uses less tequila and more Cointreau than the standard margarita which made us think the drink might be sweet, but it's not.
My Meyer Lemon Marmalade
I adapted this recipe from my well-thumbed copy of The New Basics. Using Meyer lemons adds a higher proportion of juice to the jam, so be prepared to cook it as noted. I increased the sugar to get the degree of tartness I was looking for in a marmalade. I borrowed Anna Pump's suggestion (via Ina Garten) to reheat the jam the next morning to thicken it properly. Tasty enough on toast with cream cheese, this marmalade might make a nice addition to a layer cake or swirled into muffins.
Edamame with Sea Salt and Lime
For this recipe, I like to slightly nudge my edamame out of their pods with a gentle squeeze, swipe the lime wedge, dip in the sea salt, and munch. Yum!
