Lemon meringue YUM. (See, when you know the secret ingredient, you can get peaks like that.)
Babble.com was fab enough to feature an excerpt from Cherries in Winter to help celebrate the book's release in paperback (wooo-HOOO!). As if that weren't enough, they ran Nana's recipe for lemon meringue pie! Check out that link, and the luscious pie porn they ran with it…
As any of you who read the book already may remember, this was the most difficult recipe for me to replicate. Why? There was a missing ingredient that was kinda crucial to the making of a lemon meringue pie, as opposed to a lemon tart (which was what I ended up with). Holy Martha Stewart, Batman. If you haven't read the chapter yet, I hope you have a good laugh at my expense (no, really). And don't worry; the missing mystery ingredient is in both the book and on the Babble.com recipe page, so you won't end up with egg whites on your face like I did.
Thanks again, Babble!
