Wreath Dollop the meringue into a rough circle – I personally think the messier it looks, the more appetising it looks when it’s baked. Use a spatula to shape it if you like and then place in the centre of your preheated oven. Immediately reduce the oven temperature to 120ᵒC and bake for 1 ¼ hours without opening the oven (opening the oven will let moisture in and cause your meringue to become sticky). Turn off the oven and leave the meringue in there to cool completely – this can be anything from 2 hours to overnight. Carefully peel the meringue off of the baking paper and transfer to a large plate or chopping board (whichever you fancy serving it on). Whisk up the cream until it just holds its shape and remains shiny. Be careful not to over whisk it as it can become grainy and very heavy. Dollop the cream on top of your meringue wreath and decorate with fruit of your choice and any decorations you fancy – I like freeze dried raspberries and little white pearls! 9 a.m. - 12 noon every Tuesday outside Royal Saracens Head, Beaconsfield Orders taken for home/office delivery James Taylor, Fishmonger 07824 447186 Veggie Alternatives (mobile app) Created by 15 year old Ayush Sangavi from Beaconsfield, this app provides vegans and vegetarians with hundreds of substitutes to foods they can no longer eat.
