1. Stephanie Alexander’s Pavlova
There is some contention over whether Pavlova is an Australian or New Zealand dish. Well, we have news for you Kiwis: we’re keeping this one, it’s ours. You can have Russel Crowe back though.
Australian food icon Stephanie Alexander shows us how to make the perfect Pav with crisp sides and a cloud-like soft centre. Even Nigella rates this recipe as the best. Get the recipe here.
