dessert: two ways

Though I have ceased eating most baked goods, I still have a love for making them, so on occasion, I'll be posting here some of my sweeter experiments here for your post-meat-eating enjoyment.

This weekend, I finally made Pavlova, which I have been dying to try since seeing a lovely picture in the April 2009 issue of Gourmet magazine.

Here's the finished product--

Pavlova with Lemon Curd and Berries.

Slightly more ambitious than Friday night's cheater dessert, which was adapted from one of Martha Stewart's old recipes for Honeyed Fruit Tartlets using (gasp!) store-bought pastry crust.
