lemon

The lemon (Citrus limon) is a species of small evergreen trees in the flowering plant family Rutaceae, native to Asia, primarily Northeast India (Assam), Northern Myanmar or China.The tree's ellipsoidal yellow fruit is used for culinary and non-culinary purposes throughout the world, primarily for its juice, which has both culinary and cleaning uses. The pulp and rind are also used in cooking and baking. The juice of the lemon is about 5% to 6% citric acid, with a pH of around 2.2, giving it a sour taste. The distinctive sour taste of lemon juice makes it a key ingredient in drinks and foods such as lemonade and lemon meringue pie.

    Damn lemons!

    I have gotten fresh lemons before and put them in my fruit bowl, and a couple of days later, they have green mold only on the side facing down. I thought it was an oxygen thing, so I always move my lemons every day or two to stop this, but apparently that doesn't work anymore. Also, I just...

    Recipe Maple and lemon roasted yellow courgette, aubergine and olives with sumac

    Sweet and sour flavours work very well with courgette and aubergine, both of which are rather mild tasting. I added some radishes for a little texture and colour. The final result should produce a little ‘sauce’ under the vegetables and the whole garlic cloves should be just ready to 'squidge'...

    Recipe Greek Rack of Lamb

    I wanted to recreate the flavors of the baby goat I had on my first night in Athens in 2019. I couldn’t get goat at my local butcher, but I knew the flavors would work well on rack of lamb. I love the results here, but I know I can’t afford to do this very often. Still, I can see doing this...

    Recipe Slow cooked lamb and potato with coriander and lemon

    Coriander leaves (cilantro) are generally added to dishes at the end of cooking because they tend to lose flavour when cooked. However, if used in generous amounts, including the stalks, coriander leaves can survive slow cooking, particularly with sweet, mild meat such as lamb. In this recipe...
