Nanna Eatts Lemon Curd Pie
"Lemon Curd pie with a sweet biscuit base, This was my Nanna's Mums recipe, Nanna used to make it for me every school holidays when I would go and stay with her. It was a real treat. Be careful not to stop stirring the curd whilst over the heat as if it begins to stick it will change the taste completely. Yoyo's are the best for the base."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a Uni student; I like to cook in my spare time, I am always on the net and reading books looking for new recipes and thinking of ways to make them my own. I plan to make my own cookbook once I have enough recipes under my belt; im getting there. I will be dedicating it to my Nanna, she has been my number one inspiration for cooking and she has been a great teacher. My favorite things to make are deserts and Chicken dishes. I love experimenting with Pizza's. I had a scare recently, that I may have Coeliac's, luckily I found out this was not the case, but i did happen to learn alot about it in the time that I was waiting for testing, I have come to appreciate gluten and even the lack of it. I came accross some great recipes, and they were quite tasty, I cannot believe how common gluten intolerance is, I had not heard of it until the doctors told me I may have it. I have 3 beautiful babies :P Bella and Basil (my 2 chihuahua's) and Cat (my ginger kitty). My favorite cookbook is Stefanie Alexander's Garden Kitchen Companion. When I am not at Uni or in the Kitchen I like to go shopping, down the beach, camping, fishing, and gardening. I love fashion and I would like to buy a sewing machine and start making my own designs. I also enjoy making jewelery from polymer clay, very fun hobby.
