A recipe with a story: lemon meringue

The sweetness of the delicate protein soufflé under the thin caramelised crust makes a perfect union with the bright acidity of citrus fruits; the zest gives the crisp and crumbly sand dough a killer – in a good sense of the word! – flavour; the bottom of the pie is deliciously soaked in syrup, but does not crumble. And the filling, which undergoes only a short heat treatment, retains not only the concentrated flavour of the fruit, but also the maximum of its inherent benefits.
