My cousin and her family are visiting Perth from the UK and we had a family dinner last night. Sarah and I volunteered to bring the desserts as we were keen to try a couple of the recipes from Martha Stewart’s Pies and Tarts Book.
Sarah made a Coconut Cream Pie which bought back memories of Gilligan’s Island where Maryanne was always whipping up a Coconut Cream Pie! Sarah wanted to reduce the richness of the dish, so eliminated the cream layer and substituted a chocolate drizzle instead. She made the crust with Chocolate Ripple Biscuits (as we can’t get Chocolate wafers here) and it was delicious. Martha has the recipe on her site.
I made a Lemon Meringue Pie using some lemons from my parents tree. I recently got a Kitchenaid food processor which made making the Pate Brisee pastry a snap. With 8 egg whites, the meringue topping was nice and high. You can find Martha’s recipe here.

Yummmmmm…your baking posts make me instantly hungry! Can’t say that I’ve ever made Lemon Meringue Pie, but yours looks delicious!
Oh, it all looks so very good! And finished so pretty! Difficult to cut into, I think ;o)
I heart Martha. Your pies are picture perfect and I’m sure, tasty too.

Hi Sarah and Lisa – I have just discovered your website and have been trawling through the archives for fun and inspiration! Wonderful ideas!!! And that Lemon Meringue Pie look yum. I’m going to try to hold off from buying Martha Stewarts cookbooks, but Sarah’s baking is making it difficult. Thanks for having a lovely blog!
Oooo YUMMY! Lemon Meringue pie is one of my faves too! Happy Day, Lisa ((HUGS)) Oh, btw, I’m launching a new blog today, with new creative focus–I’m very excited about it. In a few weeks I’ll be closing Pink Purl. Thanks for visiting me there sometimes. :o)
