Who made this dish?
Tom's meringue pies feature a sweet shortcrust pastry base filled with rhubarb and strawberry curd, topped with stem ginger Swiss meringue that he blowtorches rather than bakes.
Tom: "This is a rhubarb and strawberry meringue tart with a stem ginger swiss meringue on the top."
Tom adds four tablespoons of stem ginger syrup to his Swiss meringue. "I just find it cuts through the sweetness a little bit."
Paul Hollywood: "The meringue has a really lovely flavor."
Prue Leith (who is a self-confessed hater of raw meringue); "Yes, taste is lovely but it's still a disgusting texture."
Paul Hollywood: "The tartness that comes from the base is nice. The overall flavor balance with the meringue is really good. The strawberry comes through beautifully. It's not overly sweet, actually."
Prue Leith: "It's really lovely."
Paul Hollywood: "Fantastic."
