Cornwall, orange cake and an Amalfi guide

From leather citrus coin purses to lemon-themed travel, we have you covered

Hello Lemonistas,

Welcome to your latest edition of The Lemon Grove newsletter. In this issue, we offer a mini-guide to some interesting eating places in Cornwall, sent in by a friend of The Lemon Grove after a recent trip. We then recommend a new edition of a valuable guide to the Amalfi coast ( with a bonus podcast featuring the author Laura Thayer and The Lemon Grove recorded in the main square of the Amalfi) and zip along to a Spanish design house’s take on citrus-themed leather coin purses. We also pay tribute to the late Italian chef Carla Tomasi and offer a delicious recipe for Orange Rapeseed Oil Cake.

Go West … to Cornwall. Visitor tips to stay and eat.

Poking into the Atlantic Ocean, reaching for the wild wind and sea is the English country of Cornwall. A land of myth and legends, with tough people working for centuries underground in tin and copper mines as fishermen, Cornwall is now a place of both second home-owners and hard scrabble for locals earning a living in the quiet winter months.
