Sorry Anne (and Deanne!) as a NZ citizen I have to put the facts straight. The pavlova was named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova who visited both Australia and NZ in the 1920's. Although the Aussies claim it as their invention there is evidence that shows recipes for pavlovas were appearing in kiwi cookbooks long before the first recipe appeared in an Australian publication. You can read more here www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-11897482. It's a long running dispute down under! Have to say after living in both countries I had lots more pavlovas in NZ. Once in a while it shows up on a dessert table here but in NZ there would be at least 3 at dessert nights - decorated with strawberries and kiwi fruit of course. More people there knew how to make them too! Other kiwi things the Aussies have claimed include the band Crowded House, actors Sam Neill and Russell Crowe until he does something stupid and then he becomes an NZer again!Ann at eightacresofedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524581927752695509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-2172084872798013852012-02-25T22:50:30.481+00:002012-02-25T22:50:30.481+00:00Deanne, I had never realized this was an Australia...Deanne, I had never realized this was an Australian dish until I read that the other day!
