We started with the base of the white chocolate cheese cakes s we let it chill for about 30minutes. While the base was setting, I made the pastry for the lemon meringue pie. Then I did the lemon curd for the lemon meringue pie and lastly, I whisked the egg whites and the caster sugar together to form the meringue. I took the pastry out and rolled it out to a china. Because Jane and I didn't have any baking beans, I used the rocks from her garden and wrapped it with tinfoil before putting them onto the blind pastry. I cooked it in the oven for about 20minutes and for the last 5 minutes took the rocks out so that the bottom part would cook :) I then put the lemon curd and the meringue on then left it to bake till the top is brown and beautiful.

We then took the white chocolate cheese cake base out and mixed the white chocolate and cheese together and left it to set for 30minutes.

We had a half an hour break for lunch and then I started doing the cheese soufflé. First I had to do the mix and then grate all the different type of cheese (it was so tiring and took me the longest time) then I misted in 6 egg yolks and the mixture and whisked it together. Then I had to butter the ramekins and put them in. We had a lot of extras (hahah) so we put it in a ovenproof dish and cooked the rest. While it was cooking in the oven, I opened the door and got a smack at the butt because I wasn't supposed to do it. (Taught by Jane, if you do, the hot air will go out and be replaced by the cool air and the soufflé will sink in :( ) so yeah, NOTE THAT.
Third and forth picture. Sorry for the shrink :p didn't take it fast enough. The third picture is the one in the ramekin and the forth one is the one in the ovenproof dish. (Click pic to view full size image)
Finally, the macaroni and cheese. I had to boil the macaroni for about 1/2 and hour. And while doing that, I stirred the butter and flour to form a roux. Not long after that, I had to whisk in the milk until the sauce was thickened. Then I added the cheese mixture into it. Macaroni was added into the sauce and then put into another ovenproof dish. The remaining cheese was put for the topping and then tadaaaa.
Fifth picture. Can't actually apologise for anything this time cause this picture looks really nice :p (click pic to view full size)
Andrew came back and the first dish we had was the soufflé. Then we had the macaroni and cheese and for dessert, we had the lemon meringue pie. You're probably wondering why wasn't it the white chocolate cheese cake. And that is because that is meant to be a surprise for my father hen he comes back tomorrow.
Credits to my sister (Sabrina) for doing all the washing up :))
