Well. Where do I start? Actually, I won't, as such, except to say - not wise to make a recipe for Christmas lunch off the internet hours before you intend to consume it. Yes, that is exactly what I did, dear reader, as I decided to make a.... pavlova. I found a recipe on the net, cooked it, but oh my gosh - it was the foulest piece of egg white rubbish I ever had. Rubbery. Weird taste. So I quickly went back to the standard for pavlova's - New Zealand's Edmonds Cook book and made a very nice pavlova. To be fair the thing shrank so it was flat as a flat pancake and I had to smother it with cream. But it did taste fine. So the tip is..... don't cook pavlova? I think I'll buy mine next time. Happy Christmas.
