Meringues are notoriously difficult to master, getting the perfect crispy exterior and a gooey melt in the mouth interior is something of a feat. Remove the eggs from the mix and you really do have a challenge on your hands. With the discovery of aquafaba as an egg substitute, vegan meringues were back on the [...]
This chocolate tart is the perfect indulgent treat to serve at a dinner party, as it is particularly fancy but only takes 25 mins to whip together. Olive oil and chocolate work really well together, especially with a high quality one like Fino. The slight peppery bitterness of the oil balances out the sweet rich [...]
