Lemon pie is one of the most successful culinary inventions. This pie was first invented in the 18th century in England. George Fox quickly made the pie his domain and sold it in his bakery. After a while, the lemon pie recipe leaked to the rest of Europe. Then lemon pie began to be baked in France.
