Meringues. I am scared.

Delia (I'm sticking with Delia for this one, I need someone matronly and authoritative to hold my hand) makes them sound really easy to make. I've always thought they were tricky. Should I risk it?

Delia says you make them with caster sugar, rather than icing (which would have been my assumption). Could I use golden caster sugar, rather than white, or would that mean they end up a odd brown colour?

Mmm, that worked.
I've embraced the fear!
It was still a bit squidgy in the middle, but that won general approval.
Gingernut, I just thought it would be less fiddly to go the whole hog. Oink oink...

love nigella's nipple detail, Sammac
