📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Pavlova is a dessert said to have been created in the 1920s to commemorate Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova's tour of Australia and New Zealand. A meringue crisp outside and soft as marshmallow inside is topped with whipped cream, strawberries, kiwi, passion fruit, and more. Which country invented it has been debated for years.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a midsummer Christmas in the Southern Hemisphere, a pure white pavlova overflowing with fruit is carried to a table in an Australian backyard.
