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.

    Recipe Tabbouleh with Egg and Pickled Lemon

    A no cook recipe! Many recipes for Tabbouleh use a lot more parsley (or parsley/mint) than I have, often in a ratio of double the weight of herbs to the weight of dry bulgur. Personally. I prefer rather more grain but you can vary this to your taste. The dill adds a lovely fragrance here. I used...

    Recipe Cranberry Liqueur, with Vodka, Lemon Peel, Clove

    I made this one up without reference to any other adult beverages out there. Just seemed right to me. I use organic coconut/palm sugar (fair trade) - this stuff doesn't interfere with orangutan habitats, as a lot of the palm sugars and other palm resources might do. Also, I find that this...

    Lemon Jam?,

    I was wondering if anyone had any tried and tested lemon jam recipes please? I still had a mass of lemons with more on their way. I use a lot of jam, but dislike marmalade.

    A great way to use up stale bread - this tray bake is very easy to make. It would work equally well using chicken thighs and/or legs. The bread is a delight because it becomes crispy in some parts juice laden in others and the roasted garlic cloves are lovely to squidge out on the plate. I...
