omg! Besides cooking you bake too! And baking Lemon Meringue Pie is no mean feat!! Hats off to you! You are amazing!!
ReplyDeleteSurely something I would LOVE to try out! Trying to cut down on my sugar and butter intake but if I come across recipes such as this one (you make it sound so easy)I usually give it a go. Looking so delicious in your pictures!!
ReplyDeleteNava, this is really yummy esp the the colour of the lemon, oh... swallowing my saliva....
ReplyDeleteWow Nava, very lovely and perfect looking lemon meringue. Simply awesome, its mouthwatering, I can just finish it off in one go. Such a nice virtual treat...
ReplyDeleteNava, it looks so gorgeous and perfect...Tempting clicks...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ctirusy treat Nava. Love that bright yellow color. Sure this dessert is a winner.
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely & the 3 different layers must be flavorful. I too love Anna Olson & do a lot of copy from her into my baking.
ReplyDeleteI have a mental block when it comes to baking. I justify it as it being a good balance, if I can cook AND bake the hubs and I would get really round and rotund! Your pie looks fabulous and you make it seem to approachable though. Love the plating!
ReplyDeleteIt looks yummm .... Will try this..
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend..

ReplyDeleteNava, your pie looks wonderful, i book marked your recipe. thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so delicious. . I am drooling here.:)) btw just saw your Facebook status. Sounds scary. . Please take care :)
ReplyDeleteSo delectable... very professionally done Nava.. It is the same case as me.. I love baking... but don't have a passion... These days I dont bake as often as before except for giving to friends...
ReplyDeleteThe thing is hubby is not a big fan of baked goods.. He will just taste it... once... and I will have to finish off the rest.. Not so good for my already high scores on the scales.
yummy....

ReplyDeletePies are my anytime favorite...this one just looks mouthwatering...delicious!
ReplyDeleteAm not into pie but lemon ones sound great. I can imagine the sourish and sweet taste
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence Nava, made something with custard powder but it doesn't have eggs in it. I love your lemon meringue pie with three layers and lot of lemon flavor.
ReplyDeleteReading this at tea time and wishing I could have one slice with me.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, sunny meringue pie...just the way I love it! If you are not a fan of baking and this is what you create, I am wondering what I would see if you enjoyed it like me. Truely fantastic!
