Fiction To Sink Your Teeth Into, a feature from author and professional chef Rohan O’Duill!

Gideon only wants to go to Magnus and Abigail’s 11th anniversary party because she really wants to eat a dessert. So I thought it fitting that we prepare that dessert to go with reading Gideon the Ninth. The dessert described is cream with fruit and sugar, which sounds a lot like an Eton Mess. Bonus, that’s a super simple recipe to make!

Ingredients

• 250ml whipping cream
• 1 punnet strawberries, or any berries or fruit you can get your hands on.
• A couple of méringue nests

Equipment

• A whisk, or a stand mixer if you don’t have all that whisking in you.

Method

• Whisk the cream until it forms small peaks. Crumble up the méringue and dice the strawberries.
• Mix everything together and serve in a fancy ass glass, if you have one.

Time to binge on some super sweet treats and this necromancer story.

Note: you could make the méringue, but that’s like work and stuff, and they are super cheap to buy, so forget that.
