Home cooking attempt — Pavlova from scratch

I spent an afternoon making Pavlova from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting macadamia nut right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The clean and straightforward result was rewarding once I got it right.

Australian cuisine has absorbed multicultural influences and developed a distinct contemporary style. I served it with flat white coffee as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Pavlova yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
