Comments to Hosts:
"Thank you so much for such a wonderful dinner and delightful evening, complete with a bagpipe performance. We showed everyone our pictures and video when we got back to the hotel. They were all a bit jealous...You made our trip to New Zealand so special." Nancy & Rick, USA
"The delicious meal was prepared with loving hands. You guys were so gracious to open up your nice home to us. Your gardens are beautiful. The conversation with you helped us get a little insight into life in New Zealand. What a beautiful country!" Nora, USA
Pavlova - New Zealand's favourite dessert
Why not try making one of your own. This is a simple recipe, you really can't go wrong with this!
4 egg whites
1 cup caster sugar
2 teaspoons cornflour
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Beat egg whites until stiff. Gradually beat in sugar and when really stiff and glossy fold in cornflour, vinegar and vanilla essence. Pile into a circle on a foil-lined baking tray. Smooth top and mark ridges up the sides with a knife if desired.
Bake at 120 Celcius for 15 minutes, then lower heat to 100C and continue to cook a further 45 minutes. Turn off heat and leave pavlova in oven until cool.
Pile high with whipped cream and fruit of your choice - strawberries, raspberries, kiwifruit, pineapple, passionfruit, peaches etc. If no fruit available use grated chocolate and chopped nuts.
