PAVLOVA FOR DESSERT

TWO BOOKS about New Zealand have lately
come my way, courtesy of the local consulate, one
devoted to cookery in those islands, which I’!l tell
you about in detail in a week or two; the other a
small history-cum-cook-book written by Nina and

Jim Munro, a couple of British immigrants.

It’s always the immigrant
who can see both the forest
and the trees, and these two
have taken obvious pleasure
in the viewing. They have
made full use of old photo-
graphs for the history part,
studded with recipes retrieved
from the past of both Euro-
pean and Maori inhabitants.
The combination makes for a
very warm and _ friendly
report.

The early colonists were
widely scattered and had, as
is always the case with
pioneers, to improvise and
make use of unfamiliar roots
and berries, wild animals and
fishes. Shopping trips were
annual, if at all. They
developed the self-reliance
that fortifies settlers in any
strange land, consequently
there are extant many homely
and home-made recipes and
remedies.

l especially admired the ut-
ter confidence of the ‘‘Home-

Made Cure for the Common
Cold,’’ which begins with a
flannel nightie, runs through
a very hot mustard foot bath
accompanied by a glass of
hot whiskey, and so into a
bed dressed in flannel sheets.
It ends with the serene pro-
nouncement, ‘‘Your cold will
be gone in the morning.’’ The
heck with aspirin —
remember that when the
January sniffles attack.

There are recipes for the
construction of your own
bath salts, your own health
salts (a la Eno’s, no doubt),
and your own yeast. And of
course, in the absence of the
bakery shops of home, a
recipe for Self-raising Flour.
Some one had lately as
me for such:

2 Ibs. of all-purpose flour
(900g)

2 oz. of cream of tartar (60g)

1 oz. of carbonte of soda

(30g)

The tnumph of all New
Zealand cuisine is the lovely
‘‘Paviova’’ dessert, claimed
also by Australia, a claim ac-
tively denied by the islanders
who ‘‘saw her first.’’ That
was in 1926, when the prima
ballerina assoluta was im-
mortalized in meringue. No
better way. And New
Zealanders wouldn't think of
serving this delectable thing
any old time — it is produced
only for very special occa-
sions, and its appearance on
the menu indicates something
momentous. Thus:

Beat until stuff

3 egg whites

a pinch of salt
Add, | tsp. at a time, 6 02z. of
caster sugar (180g) (I think
this is between ‘‘berry’’ and
““‘icing’’)
Fold in

1 tspn. vanilla (SmL)

l tspn. vinegar (SmL)

1 tspn. cornflour
(cornstarch?) (SmL)

Draw a 7-inch (180mm) circle
on a piece of foil (grease-
proof paper in the olden
days) and pile the mixture on
the circled space, making the
sides slightly higher than the

ingue there until it is quite
cold.

The elegance comes with
your decorations. Fill the
hollow with whipped cream,

then top with choice fruits
and fresh blooms. It should
reflect the beauty and
delicacy of the dancer herself
and is a proper conclusion to
a holiday feast.
