Strawberries, Meringue Kisses
Macerated strawberries and glazed raspberries with vanilla cream, black pepper French meringue kisses and shards, torched Italian meringue and a raspberry coulis. Spring-themed dessert.
Adam: "I'm doing strawberries, meringue, and cream. There's nothing left for Sunday lunch dessert? You strawberries and cream. Going to try and make it quite refined on the plate and bringing in some different flavours with a black pepper meringue."
Anna: "You're going to do a French meringue and an Italian meringue. So one will be baked crispy and the other one will be left soft."
Adam's first Italian meringue failed and he had to make a second batch.
Grace: "Your talent for plating up is quite extraordinary. This is like something I want to wear as a hat at a fancy wedding. I love your little black pepper meringue kisses. They've got a real punch. Not getting a lot of vanilla off the cream, but fruits done in sweet ways. This is spring, but we can certainly see summer on the horizon."
Anna: "You embarked on making an Italian meringue that didn't work out and you went back again and repeated it. I'm very grateful you did that. It's a beautiful Italian meringue. They've got the sweetness of the meringue, nice acidity of your berries."
