Book of the month

The origin of the Lemon (citrus limon) seems unknown. The Arabs took up the cultivation for medicinal purposes. Lemons are most likely to have originated in South China, East Burma and India and perhaps is the ancestor of all citrus fruits. There are 404 recipes and 87 pages in the book.
