This is my Grandmother's lemon chess pie recipe. I modified it slightly for this article—as a tart with a pressed almond crust on the bottom and a sugary gingham chessboard on top. I like to think she would have approved.

One of my favorite parts of magazine work is the ability to share family recipes. It's a small way of honoring those who loved me so much that they fed me delicious meals and taught me how to cook. That's true love, you know.

I produce food articles (recipe development, styling, props, & writing) and deliver beautiful, print-ready, natural-light food photography. I'm available for all-inclusive editorial assignments.   

My kitchen overlooks the marsh in Lowcountry of South Carolina, near Beaufort. It was lovingly built by my husband and my Dad. >
