The British editor Penguin Books has just launched in the European market, the last work by Claudia Roden, titled "The food in Spain". In the cover of this book that counts on a detailed work, the editor placed a product linked to the Murcia region, the lemon.

This book, already edited in the United States some months ago, offers an exhaustive work about the history and gastronomy in Spain and its several cultures that leave a trace in the Spanish kitchens and pantries. In the chapter dedicated to the Spanish regions, there's information about the citrus cultivation in the Mediterranean arch, especially in the Valencia Community, Murcia region and Andalucía.

The chapters are accompanied by several recipes. In the final selection were included four that use lemon: Marinated mushrooms with lemon juice; Sea breams in the oven with potatoes; and two deserts: Santiago tart and cheese tart, both made with fresh grated lemon rind.

Claudia Roden is an author born in Egypt and developing her academic formation in Paris and London. She published several books about gastronomy and she's specialized in Mediterranean kitchen and Middle East.
