 In our French cooking workshop today, we'll be talking about lemons ( citrons in French). We'll need them for our recipe of the French "Super Moelleux au Citron" (super soft lemon brownie). While our cake is baking in the oven, we'll learn how to grow a lemon tree - in French - thanks to this video.

Stop squeezing me dry like a lemon!
