and your recipe was fabulous!!

Haven't thought of Pavlova in 30 years and it's about time we made one!

And while my interest in Pavlova is ancient, my love of Cannas is new! I just ordered a boxful from the Canna Co-op and so I'm so happy to learn all about them from your article!

That's great. The recipe is the strictly traditional one over here. Whilst I was researching the article, I saw a huge array of different styles from all over the place. Its pretty adaptable if you don't have the same fruit available. Bon appetite.

But 'kiwi' is a must or it's not Pavlova!

Yep, spot on Tabasco. I could or should have put sliced bananas in there too, but they brown too quickly IMO. Its great that you appreciate the strictly traditional version. Some of the English ones I saw were like a slice of meringue lost under a mountain of tropical fruit from about 5 different continents. It was interesting to see different takes on it & I reckon they each said something about the place they came from.
