Eton Mess – Recipe

by mentalparentals, in category Recipes
Eton Mess

Eton Mess is a classic British dessert – one that I hadn’t even tried until recently.  But with Wimbledon having just finished on our screens and fresh strawberries being picked all around the country, it would be a shame not to share in the love of great British strawberries.
