Pavlova

Northern hemisphere Christmases are nice – the markets, the lights and the mulled wine create a lovely festive atmosphere. Thanks to a dusting of snow overnight, it was a white Christmas this year. We even made it up to the ski field to enjoy Christmas morning on the nearly deserted slopes!

And yet, we still felt there was something missing. There was no pav!

We’d never made a pavlova before. People told us it wasn’t possible without an electric beater, but we were Kiwis posessed! We enjoyed a lovely roast chicken with friends and finished the meal with the pav. As you can see it didn’t turn out too bad!
