This quick bread says "spring" to me. It's a little sweet and peppy, with a bright lemony taste and is heavenly slathered with real butter. Delicious with seafood and spring's fresh-tasting vegetable dishes. It's one of my favorites from the Silver Palate cookbooks; the original recipe also includes chives, but I just didn't care for their oniony taste in this bread and so I've omitted them. If you're interested in trying it, the measurement is 1/4 cup snipped fresh chives.

I truly loved the flavors of this bread, although it was a little less sweet and peppery than I was looking for. I would definitely bump up at least the pepper content.

Served this to accompany a salad luncheon. It is quite lovely in appearance, and the taste is unique. The blend of the sweet with the lemon and pepper was pleasing. Thanks for the nice recipe.
