I chose this for my Saturday dessert of our Recipezaar "Go Irish/Go Green" Cook-a-thon on March 16 & 17 (2002), and what a great choice it was. Absolutely delicious! I used lemon juice but a mixture of lemon and lime peel (I only had one lime at home so couldn't get enough lime juice or zest to go all-lime) so I would at least get flecks of green. :-) While this might not be drop-dead-easy for a beginner cook, it is not hard to make and produces a light-as-air dessert with a tart-sweet lemon sauce. Thanks for posting this one, Dorothy!

Good flavour. Extremely sweet. Light and fluffy top with a smooth rich sauce underneath. Good recipe!
