Arrive, Make a Mess, Leave
We received an impromptu invite for dinner on Saturday, the one night our weekend house guest wasn’t with us. Seemed only reasonable we took a little something and continued our journey through the book.
- Eton Mess
This recipe doesn’t deviate a great deal from the traditional Eton Mess make-up, although it is Nigella, so naturally there are pomegranates involved. In this case the (dull, early April) strawberries are steeped in pomegranate juice whilst you whip the cream -by hand, because we still haven’t bought an electric whisk- which really helps bring the flavours out.
Perhaps we could’ve whipped the cream a little more; perhaps it was in fact perfect. In the event this wasn’t the most beautiful of dishes, but then perhaps this is rather the point. Whatever the case, is tasted pretty damn fine!
