Pucker up, because top recipes this month used lemon here, there, and everywhere. Roast them whole in this no-fail chicken to amp up their natural sweetness, cook the juice down with butter and tarragon for a luscious sauce for cod, or whisk up a tart sumac-lemon dressing for fattoush. We’re spoiled for choice! Need a company-worthy sweet to kick off berry season? Add this Strawberry Shortcake Roll from BA Bake Club to your list. As one reader reports, “This is the best cake I’ve ever made.” Does a review get better than that? Scroll down for the most-saved recipes in the Epicurious app this month.
