Pages

Welcome to my humble little kitchen...
I really do enjoy cooking. Just love reading recipes books am always on the look out for interesting recipe books. Pages and pages full of brightly coloured pictures of tempting dishes whether they be old favourites from my child hood or new and exciting ones yet to try!!!!
Learning spices and techniques does take time and I must admit often does not turn out but practice, practice and a little experimenting goes a long way in learning to perfect dishes and tastes..
Follow me on our journey to discover new flavours and old ones to and to enjoy and EAT the outcome!!!

Meringue Nests

MERINGUE NESTS
So easy and delicious. Crunchy on the outside and chewy and moorish on the inside. Hard to stop at one.


WHAT YOU NEED:
2Egg whites
1/2 cup of caster sugar (can be adjusted slightly if you prefer a sickly sweet meringue)

WHAT YOU DO:
1.Preheat the opven to 150 celcuis.
2. Beat the eggwhites till soft peaks are formed and then slowly add the caster sugar till combined and the mix is glossy and thick with stiff peaks.
3. Pipe, spoon or spread onto a baking sheet to desired size and bake in the oven for aprox 50 mins and then turn off oven and leave to cool in the oven with the door ajar. (If meringues are getting too brown on top reduce the heat to 100 c and continue cooking till done)
