A perfect classic lemon meringue tart recipe.
A confession before we continue: I did not make this luscious looking creation. Rather, The Hungry Dad and Miss7 whipped it up for a family lunch at my mum’s house recently. I’m lucky – I married a man who is a great cook and our first born also loves cooking (especially desserts!).
They chose this recipe from my ever-present copy of Australian Women’s Weekly ‘Bake.’
It is no exaggeration to say this pie was the hit of the lunch – everyone was full of compliments for my hubby and daughter. So proud!

I am very lucky! The Hungry Dad is a much better cook than me, and when he turns his hand to baking he is fab at that, too 🙂
