I totally dig the blog, thanks for sharing the info. It’s not too often that you find a blog where the writer knows what they are talking about. Grammar and spelling are dead perfect as well, only thing was I seemed to have was bringing up the website, seemed to take a while. Any other replies have the same issue?

I plan to make a pavlova in the next few weeks and yours is exactly the image I have in my mind as to how I want it to look! Yum

I had a flat pav the other day and I came to the conclusion that the eggs were far too fresh, I was away and they were from the farm down the road and had been laid the day before.

When making in the food processor you need to whisk for a good 5 mins before adding the sugar.

And make sure that there is not a spot of grease when whisking egg whites as they will collaspe and make sure that they are at room temperature.

i find no difference using cornflour or not, so simply do not bother now.

i have made nigella’s choc pav 4 times..the first two times it was perfect, but the last two have gone wrong, and the meringue seems to go flat…im using the same technique do i use 1 tsp of cornflour to every egg? or none at all,its driving me nuts what am i doing wrong

I’m so glad you said that, meringue is one of the few things I can make without anything going wrong!

I agree with everything you say about meringue. Baked alaska is a favourite too. Have you ever tried chocolate pav – as seen in Nigella Lawson’s Forever Summer? Soooo Good!

Good Luck Alice,

Let me know how it goes, like everything they sometimes just do not work, so just have another go if need be.

Use up the egg yolks in frittatas.

I’ve always been to scared to make a meringue! Your post has proved me wrong. I have bookmarked to have a go on Saturday when I have a friend coming over for dinner!!
