Lime Meringue Pie

Hello! This is my first post here and I hope it qualifies for this community. If it doesn't, just delete it please. :)
My name is Anna, I'm 27 and I am a very enthusiastic (though by no means great) cook. I come from the Czech Republic and I love Czech cuisine (anybody else likes it here?), but also Japanese - as I am a japanologist and miso ( Read more... )

meringue, pie, lime

It looks delicious! Please post a recipe.

My husband and I spent part of our honeymoon in Czech Republic (also Slovakia, Poland and some in Austria). We love the knedlíky and the honey cake (I can't remember the name).

I bought a Czech cookbook but I haven't had the nerve to try any of the recipes yet. :-)

Thank you! :)

I am glad you liked our food! The honey cake is called medovník and it's quite popular here, even though the recipe itself is... Armenian?

As for the recipe... I am not sure if it's not against the rules, as I made it exactly as advised in Mary Berry's Complete Cook Book and I do not have a copyright for this. :(

I adore lime meringue pie. Yours looks very nice.

Your pie looks delicious. Now I kind of want to make lemon merangue pie. :)

I love Czech food! I had the good fortune to be able to spend a week in Prague a few years ago, staying with some of my father's oldest friends. The wife is a lovely lady who cooks good, old-fashioned Czech food. I think I might have eaten more there in a week than I did for the other four weeks of my trip! ^_~ I remember with particular fondness her dumplings, both plain and apricot-filled.

Thanks! :)

I am so glad you like Czech food! Dumplings with fruit are very popular here. I think my father makes them best of all family, though he prefers using plums or strawberries instead of apricots.

My hostess talked about how she used to make plum dumplings, but the proper plums were very hard to find anymore. I think the plum trees got a disease or something? Anyway, it was interesting.

Hmmmm, it could have been. We have them now, though. :)

I lived in Prague for a few months! My family is from Northern Slovakia, so most of the food I grew up on was more Polish influenced.

That pie looks great!

Thank you, neighbour! :D
