f you have difficulties with the french method like me, then you should definitely try this method. you will not regret it. its easier to control with consistency and it taste fabulous! I had difficulties with french method before and now I make perfect ones every single time! plus the one we buy from shops use italian meringue also! the best you can have! Have a try and you will be delighted with the result! But you still need to pay attention to every single steps cuz you will also fail if you dont do it properly!
