I had no baking paper to hand and messed about with tin foil which does not work well. Sauce tip... raspberry and passion fruit... 100 grams of raspberries and two/three passion fruits.. in the blender and then through a siff.. lovely.

In this post you connect two places, Finland and Australia, that are materially distant and, in my imagination, diametrically opposed. I visit recently Sydney (but I didn't have the chance to taste a pavlova, neither there, nor in New Zealand). And I hope some day I'll visit your country, Nor just for checking if my imagination was wrong, :D but to enjoy strawberry season and much much more... Best, Marcela Nice to read you again.

Both Antti and I have new jobs that keep us incredibly busy. On the other hand, returning to Finland means that I will be cooking more than ever - takeout isn't as great here as it is in Manhattan and restaurant options in Helsinki are pretty limited. Joey, have no fear - meringues look really daunting, but they are super easy. The only trick to it is to keep the oven cool enough. Charlotte, I recently found your blog too and it is wonderful: the pictures are simply mouth-watering, you have a fresh take on Finnish favorites, and I get to practice my (pretty non-existent) French. Keep up the good work! Hi Eszter, Ivonne, Zsofi & Rachael, I’m so happy you are stopping by – sorry we have been so negligent about posting lately.

I'm so happy to see you blogging again. Finland is one of those countries that I would just love to visit. But now I must change my plans so that I visit in July. This way I can enjoy the strawberries. Beautiful pavlova! Saluti Anna (and Antti)!
