\"Lemon<\/a>My favorite treat: Lemon tart topped with Italian meringue (crostata meringata al limone<\/em>). I don’t know if you know that there are different types of meringue. The most commonly used are French and Italian. To make this type of tart, the French one doesn’t work well. The Italian one is cooked while it is being prepared, through the hot syrup that we incorporate into the whipped egg whites. In this recipe, it is toasted a little, a couple of minutes in the oven, mostly to give a different texture to the top of the cake, but it could be eaten directly and it retains its firm and shiny texture, even if you keep it in the fridge for a couple of days, which is not the case, nor can you do that with the French one.<\/p>\n

\"Lemon<\/a>We are not talking about a complicated recipe, but if you have to prepare the base, the lemon cream, and the meringue, it takes quite a long time. Therefore, to make the task easier, I suggest you buy a jar of lemon curd, instead of preparing the cream flavored with lemon zest, with which this type of tart is filled in Italy. I must confess that I didn’t dare to suggest it, precisely because lemon curd is a typically English lemon cream, not Italian, nor from our lands, but, as I have already told you, I wanted to simplify the recipe and, not many days ago, I tried a cake that also combined it with meringue and I found it delicious.<\/p>\n
