**"An education of the most delightful sort . . . Covers** **all the classic meringues, from pavlova and dacquoise to Seven-Minute Frosting and Baked Alaska."—****__Kitchn__** Meringue isn't just magical. It's mysterious. No one can quite agree on its origins (and here's a hint: it wasn't invented in France). While most food historians confirm Marie Antoinette's love of meringues, some say that meringue goes back to a much earlier date . . . and that it was invented in England, of all places. We know one thing for certain: meringue is deceptively simple, and once you know the basics, you can create sweet magic with meringue cookies, Pavlovas, pies, tarts—even marjolaines and dacquoises. **"**A book meant to inspire. Some of the recipes are short and simple, a good way to become comfortable with meringue dishes. Other recipes are complex with layers of flavors and steps.
