I don't normally pop in here but I'm watching Nigella making a coffee meringue and she says she has been advised to use white wine vinegar, or in her words, 'I have it under advisement'......Is it me?

anno I know what your talking about, its an Australian recipe that was I am almost sure in the farmhouse kitchen cookery book, once it was cooked you left the meringue in the over overnight for the best results. I have it packed somewhere but I used that recipe whenever I made a meringue.

yes it's my sister's best dish. I'll find the recipe,Anno. Best with raspberries and cream on the top. They make it a lot down under and toss them off in the same way we might make a Victoria sponge. The call it 'Knocking up a pav'.(so I'm told!)

Oh heavens Merlot do I remember "Farmhouse Kitchen" !! Those two women seemed such old biddies, and one of them was so proud of her salt & pepper combo mix to make seasoning so much easier! grin
