Today, I'm planning on making pavlovas for the first time. I've always been nervous about meringues and the whole "beat till stiff and shiny" part. But it's time to bite the bullet. Lobster doesn't scare me anymore; nor does pie crust. Time to try making mini pavlovas. Inspired by a recipe I read for "Christmas Pavlova" in Nigella Lawson's How to be a Domestic Goddess, I'm going to use my mom's meringue recipe and flavour my mini pavs with rosewater (a la Nigella) and decorate them with dollops of whipped cream and pomegranate seeds. Raspberries would be yummy and so delicious, but pomegranates are in season now and I'm trying to eat more seasonally and locally and so on. (Not that pomegranates are local to my province, but anyways).
I'm planning on pairing the pavs with one of my favourite new DVDs and posting on it in the next few days. We'll see how it goes! (Beaters in one hand, fingers crossed on the other, muttering prayers under my breath to St Martha, patroness of bakers....)
