Take a peek at any Kiwi dinner table on Christmas Day and you’ll almost always find that iconic, and most Kiwi of desserts – Pavlova. If you haven’t tried Pavlova, you’re in for a real treat – clouds of sweet marshmallow encased in crunchy meringue, topped with lashings of cream and tart fresh fruit. Simple, … Read more
Just occasionally, you make a dessert that, while it may seem simple enough, everyone raves about it being the “best ever”. This was such a dessert. Ironically, the idea for the dessert came in fits and starts – beginning with the need to use up some spare mascarpone I had in the fridge. I got … Read more
I hope no-one’s counting, because I seem to be making an awful lot of meringue pies lately! The problem is, every time I ask the friends and family which dessert they’d like me to make when they visit, it’s pretty much always a meringue pie! Doesn’t matter if it’s lemon, lime or any other fruit. … Read more
Another Kiwi classic – the Pavlova Roulade, or meringue roll as it’s known in other parts of the world. This was definitely one of those desserts I’d put in the ‘too hard basket’ – the rolling of that delicate meringue just looked too much like a recipe for disaster! However, first time worked a charm … Read more
Mention rhubarb and meringue in the same sentence and you just know it’s gonna be good! After all, who doesn’t love the contrast between tart and sweet?! It’s rhubarb season here in New Zealand and I’m making the most of it. You might remember the Rhubarb Creams I made a few weeks ago. This time, … Read more
Sublime.. sublime.. sublime.. Seriously this Lemon Meringue Pie is one of the best desserts I’ve made so far. The melt-in-your-mouth pastry, the sharp tang of lemon cream filling, and the cloud of heavenly meringue all coming together in the dreamiest way. I’ve made mini lemon meringue tarts previously, but used a store-bought pastry and a … Read more
Recently, I was lucky enough to fly over the ditch to Melbourne for a short break away. While I was there, I sampled Lemon Meringue Pie from the famous Hopetoun Tea Rooms and thought I’d died and gone to heaven! Instead of the standard starchy, firm set lemon custard they used a seductively soft and … Read more
Pavlova… we Kiwis can’t get enough of it. But, just occasionally, you want to give it a makeover. Not to say that the classic mounded pavlova is passé at all, but this time around I just felt like a change. Enter Jamie Oliver’s tray-bake pavlova (which is kind of a misnomer, given pavlovas are baked on a tray anyway), with its rustic, … Read more
Like most Kiwi families, we adore Pavlova. And because it’s a staple, you just need to do something a little different with it from time to time. You can give it a different flavour, perhaps a different topping, even roll it into a roulade. But there always seems to be a special twinkle in the … Read more
This Cappuccino Pavlova & Cherry Parfait recipe was devised out of necessity – with all the Pavlovas I make, there’s bound to be the odd failure or two. So, when I made my usual Cappuccino Pavlova on a drizzly, humid day (duh!), it was hardly surprising that it went pear-shaped and a solution was needed … Read more
Pavlova is as much a national icon in New Zealand as jandals and Split Enz and it’s practically synonymous with a Kiwi Christmas. When I first started this blog, I’d never made a pavlova and made it my mission to ‘get it right’ as soon as possible. It took a few gos before I was … Read more
Eton Mess – that classic English combo of meringue, cream and strawberries – is synonymous with summer. So, naturally, I thought what a great way to bring a touch of summer into our winter time. Actually, the idea to have Eton Mess was a bit of an after thought really. I’d been inspired by a … Read more
