Does anyone know where I can buy lemon meringue in Wellington! My partner loves it and as much as I love baking it looks too complicated for me to whip up. Thanks :)

Make a bisuit base - crushed bikkies with some melted butter and press into loose bottomed tin (or foiled line pie plate if no loose bottom).Mix together 1 can condensed milk, 1/2 cup lemon juice and grated rind of lemons and 2 egg yolks. stir together - will thicken them pour onto base.Beat egg whites till thick slowly adding in about 1/2 cup sugar.Pile on pile and pop in the over at 180 for about 25 mins (turn on grill to brown top if necessary).Leave until cold before removing from tin.My favourite lemon meringue pie.

cheesecake shop one is not great, the lemon part is very very sweet and tastes like it has condensed milk in it.It should be tart and like lemon jam tarts tastes.Edmonds cookbook has a great recipe, just buy a pie shell or mini ones and have a go, it's not that hard.

Oh wow thank you that doesn't sound too hard. I might give it a go after all. Thank you so much. Hmm I'm not sure where a Cheesecake Shop is here anyway. I used to see them everywhere when I lived in Oz but haven't seen any in NZ for years.

Lemon meringue pie isn't difficult at all.Pastry base - bake blind.Then make the lemon part:
3 egg yolks 1 cup water juice and rind of 2 lemons 1 cup sugar 1 tablespoons butter 4 tablespoons cornlour
Place the above ingredients into the top of a double boiler, or a pyrex dish over a saucepan containing water.Stir until heated through and thickened.Cook for a further 2 or 3 minutes.Allow to cool then spoon onto the pastry.
To make the meringue:Beat the three egg whites until stiff then add 4 tablespoons castor sugar a little at a time and then add 1/2 tsp vanilla essence.Spread meringue over the lemon mix making sure there are no gaps with the lemon mix showing.Bake for 10 to 15 minutes at 200 degC to brown meringue.Yummy.
