Dessert: Eton mess with strawberries

Serves 4

A proper comfort dessert, this is easy to make – and also fattening. I've made it with a mixture of puréed and whole fruit, so it ends up looking a little more elegant than it can sometimes appear. The meringue is the most time-consuming part of this dish, so make it one or two days before, or cheat and buy some good-quality meringue from a baker's shop or supermarket.
