A good party hinges on good cake, and who better to advise on such matters than the king of desserts himself, Jeremy Lee? “My absolute go-to is hazelnut meringue with a heap of raspberries and cream,” says the chef-proprietor of Quo Vadis in London. “For fun, pour on raspberry puree and load it with ice-cream.” To achieve meringue greatness, Lee beats egg whites thoroughly in a “scrupulously clean bowl” and ensures that the first addition of sugar is beaten in well: “Do that, and you’ll get safely into harbour.”
