Tiered Meringue Cake with summer berries


Guests

Close friends, one of whom you know.




It was our first proper weekend home and we decided to have a bit of a dinner party(sounds so 70's doesn't it?) I can tell you, the menu wasn't 70's at all. The food was delicious. I am allowed to say that because I only cooked half of it. Our guests are wonderful cooks. Cathy or course brought the meringue and assembled this delight.





Half the fun of a dinner party is setting the table and if the weather allows we always eat outside.

The weather was magical What a magical night.
