Lilu's Very Delicious Apple Tart (Dairy Free)

Dairy-Free Lemon Tart Meringuée with Olive Oil
For a while I had been dying to make a tarte au citron meringuée that always reminds me of a good friend in Paris who absolutely loves this tart. However, I wanted to make a dairy free version for my mom who is lactose intolerant. Lucky for me, I found a version I loved at The Mediterranean Dish (https://www.themediterraneandish.com/lemon-tart/) and I adapted it a little bit (I used flour instead of cornstarch and I blind baked the crust to avoid crackling) and then added a French meringue on top. The result was this amazing French lemon tart meringuée. A bright and elegant lemon tart is a celebration of citrus, with a silky olive oil lemon curd nestled in a rustic shortcrust pastry—no butter in sight. The airy French meringue, is like the cherry on top. It balances and looks sooo pretty!

Simple Dinners: Roasted Pumpkin with Carrot & Potato Velouté
This warming velouté brings together the natural sweetness of carrots and pumpkin, the creaminess of potatoes, and the depth of gentle spices. Ginger, cumin, and a touch curry give it a lively and aromatic touch. Perfect for a cozy autumn or winter meal. I roast the pumpkin because the caramelization that results from roasting the pumpkin in the oven really add all the difference. I hope you enjoy this meal :).
