Pour into the candied lemon skins, place in fridge to cool.

Youghurt sorbet

Mix all the ingredients together, pass through a fine sieve. Refrigerate til cold, churn at least 2 hours before serving.

Pistachio Genoise
Preheat oven to 160°C. Line two 25cm flat trays with baking paper.
Using a paddle attachment, combine nut pastes and icing sugar in electric mixer, drizzle in the clarified butter and gradually add the egg yolks and eggs in 4 additions, scraping the bowl between additions.
In a separate mixer beat the egg whites with a ¼ of the granulated sugar until quadrupled in volume. Add the rest of the sugar and whip to medium stiff peaks. Fold the meringue in to the nut paste in three additions, then fold in the flour.
Spread onto the baking trays and bake until cake springs back to touch (about 7 to 10 mins).
