This is my mother’s recipe. Serve on its own for breakfast or as a snack with coffee, tea or a glass of orange juice. Decorate with almonds or simply sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar.

Adapted from the traditional English recipe. I often add some julienned tangerine, orange and kumquat peels together with the sliced lemon and Seville orange.

An unusually deep flavored sweet pumpkin pie from the large island of the northeastern Aegean. The cheese used in Lesbos is the local ladotyri (cheese aged submerged in olive oil). Parmigiano Reggiano is a good substitute.

Serve finished lemon peel rolls with a glass of water on their own, as dessert, or slice rolls and use as topping for vanilla ice cream, thick yogurt, or cakes. To juice lemons, quarter the peeled lemons remove the pips, and process in a blender.
