Last night I made my first ever pie. A beautiful lemon meringue pie, with a perfectly crisp meringue top and a fresh lemony filling. It took me about 2 hours - and at 11pm we had a taste test.
My mum's favourite dessert, she gave it a thumbs up. My dad made no comment though his slice disappeared quickly enough. Mrs L declared it fattening but had a slice anyway. I had seconds :)
Today is Chicken Pot Pie day at EAT . This is probably my favourite soup, ever. Creamy chicken soup with a puff pastry top it really hits the spot, especially on a cold rainy day like this.
Whilst my brain is indulging in pie-involving flights of fancy, I am idly browsing the web for pie recipes. Next on my list: Banoffee Pie.
I am a total dessert fiend and both lemon meringue and banoffee pie are high on my list of favourite desserts. My current favourite place for banoffee pie is a restaurant called Sweet Basil. The food is great, but dessert is pure heaven.
viperx is probably chewing at the bit waiting for my list so here it is - my top 10 desserts :)
- Chocolate Bento Box at Ubon (sister of Nobu)
- Banoffee Pie at Sweet Basil
- Trufa de Chocolate con Helado de Vainilla at La Tasca
- Banoffee Pie pot from EAT
- Home-made green tea icecream
- Vanilla Fudge Brownie icecream from Haagen-Dazs
- Chocolate Profiteroles
- Fruit Crumble with custard
- Raspberry cheesecake
- Bananas and custard. With chocolate. And maybe some raspberries. And possibly some cake/crumble over the top. mmmmmmmmmmmm
Maintenant, EAT here I come.

The lemon meringue pie was indeed very good. I was exceptionally impressed with the large fluffy meringue bit on the top that cracked as the funny shaped spoon pierced it.
Incidentally, I also noticed this morning that the lemon part had hardened somewhat, which was my only semi-complaint last night ;)
Make sure you save me a bit...or alternatively I'll trade you Quiche for Key Lime pie...
