This Lemon Curd Pavlova was a delightful surprise – so fresh and bright. And if you like lemon meringue pie, you’ll be sold on this! Here’s what goes in:…

I’ve been rather absent here, celebrating my moms 70th birthday in the Cape, and so privileged so to eat at fabulous restaurants, including The Restaurant At Waterkloof, just outside Somerset West.
