Et
SERVES 6
Ingredients
2 large egg whites
120g caster sugar
For the mess
600g strawberries, hulled
2 tbsp icing sugar
400ml double cream
200g thick Greek yoghurt
200g other summer berries
1. Preheat the oven to 110°C/100°C fan/gas mark¼ and line a large baking sheet with baking paper.
2. To make the meringues, put the egg whites into a bowl and beat to stiff peaks. Whisk in the caster sugar a little at a time. When the sugar is fully incorporated the meringue will be shiny and should hold a stiff peak.
3. Place 4 large dollops of the meringue on the lined baking sheet. Put the remaining meringue into a piping bag with a 1cm star nozzle and pipe into tiny stars on the paper.
4. Place a tray onto the bottom shelf of your oven and bake for 1 hour, or until the meringues peel away from the paper easily. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
5. For the mess, put 200g of strawberries into a food processor with ½ tbsp icing sugar and pulse to a purée. Cut the remaining strawberries into bite-sized pieces.
6. In a large bowl, whip the cream with the remaining 1½ tbsp icing sugar until the mixture forms soft peaks. Fold in the Greek yoghurt.
7. To assemble, crumble the large meringues and add to the cream with the remaining strawberries. Fold the crushed meringues and other summer berries through the cream, add the purée and swirl through.
8. Divide between 6 serving glasses and top with the tiny meringue stars and berries.

Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein trailer drops after filming at spooky Scottish estate
The first trailer for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein is out, with scenes filmed at a haunting estate in Aberdeenshire. The first trailer has landed for Guillermo del Toro's long-awaited adaptation of Frankenstein, and Scottish horror fans may recognise a hauntingly familiar backdrop. Last year, film crews descended on Aberdeenshire to shoot scenes for the highly anticipated Netflix production. Among the key locations was the atmospheric Dunecht House, a grand 19th-century mansion nestled in the north-east countryside, and the perfect setting for a gothic tale of monsters and madness, Aberdeen Live reported. With its dramatic granite façade, Greek and Italian architectural flourishes, sweeping arches and Scottish baronial towers, the stately home looks as though it was plucked straight from the pages of Mary Shelley's original novel. Little wonder then that del Toro and his team chose it as one of the film's centrepieces. Dunecht House dates back hundreds of years and was originally built as a replacement for a nearby mansion. Over time, it grew in scale and grandeur, boasting 24 bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, a 120-foot library, and even an observatory. Once a social hub for Scotland's elite, the estate hosted an annual ball attended by high-ranking families from the likes of Cluny Castle and Drum Castle. Beyond its architectural splendour, the mansion sits within breathtaking grounds, which are listed on the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland, a designation reserved for spaces of historical and artistic significance. Among the highlights are two formal terraces and a variety of landscaped gardens. But what truly cements its horror credentials is the house's otherworldly reputation. Locals have long whispered about strange goings-on behind its heavy doors, lending it an eerie mystique that makes it tailor-made for a chilling film like Frankenstein. According to the official logline, the film tells the story of 'a brilliant but egotistical scientist [who] brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.' Oscar Isaac stars as Dr Victor Frankenstein, with Jacob Elordi portraying the infamous Monster. Mia Goth takes on the role of Elizabeth, joined by Ralph Ineson as Professor Krempe and Christoph Waltz as Harlander. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The supporting cast also features Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley, Felix Kammerer, Christian Covery and Charles Dance. Del Toro, known for transforming the monstrous into cinematic masterpieces, has long dreamed of adapting Frankenstein. In fact, he referenced Mary Shelley during his 2018 BAFTA acceptance speech for The Shape of Water, which went on to sweep the Oscars with four wins, including best picture and best director. His most recent collaboration with Netflix, Pinocchio, won the 2023 Academy Award for best animated feature. Now, with Frankenstein set for release in November 2025, the visionary director brings his gothic ambition full circle, and thanks to its starring turn in the film, Dunecht House may soon gain fame beyond Scotland's borders.

She described scenes of "shock and fear" in the corridors at ITV amid a major cost-cutting drive across its Daytime shows. Nadia became emotional as she shared what's been happening, appearing alongside husband Mark Adderley on her YouTube channel. She said: "Do you know what, at the moment, all of us on screen are in work, and are proud of what we do. "But behind the scenes there are people that are really suffering, and what you don't realise is when you attack the show you attack them, because you never see all the army of people behind the scenes and how hard they work." Choking back tears, she added: "So to all my friends and colleagues behind the scenes who have just got a huge shock out of the blue, I'm so sorry. "Mark knows how upset I've been at home about it. "I just can't bear it. So just be f*****g kinder people." 6 Grace and Ella began dating in summer 2024 Credit: Instagram 6 The internet personality entered the I'm A Celeb Jungle last year and quickly became a fan favourite Credit: Rex
