Episode notes
In this podcast I'm passing on all the wisdom I've gleaned from my crazed Pav obsession, including how to layer flavours in the meringue, cream and fruit and the hacks and ratios you can use to bake without following a strict recipe! I also talk about the history of pavlova, including whether it belongs to Australia, New Zealand, both or neither (including an unhinged rant about authenticity and lazy food history). Hope you enjoy/ find useful/ both!
