Chocolate Macadamia Nut Tart

Lemon Meringue Pie

The meringue pie in general seems to be an American invention, with lemon meringue pies making their debut sometime in the 19th century. Other fillings followed, and my favorite is the chocolate meringue pie that is still to be found in restaurants and diners all over the country.

Pavlova

Dried fruit-and-nut tarts are a wintertime staple in many culinary traditions. This pistachio-packed tart is rich and dense and infused with the sweet, floral essence of honey. Serve it with full-flavored coffee or hot mint tea.
