Each new year, it is tradition to make resolutions and look for opportunities to set new goals, be inspired, try new things and travel to new places. While most people try to cut food out, I challenge you to invite new flavors in for the new year. Bringing one of my favorite recipes to your table will be a perfect way to start. Pavlova is loved in so many countries, but the debate continues whether it originates from New Zealand or Australia. This light and crisp meringue is garnished with fresh whipped cream, seasonal fruits and flavors and will be loved by all. Happy new year and happy baking!
