Dinner with friends

So we had Sunday lunch. A lunch that lasted all afternoon. What could be more fun than sitting at a long table with friends and just enjoying good food, good wine and of course good conversation!
There was a highlight for me. Pavlova. Not just your ordinary Pav. This one has changed my view on this traditional Aussie desert. I'm starting to believe the folklore that it's actually a Kiwi invention. The reason is that my friend Julia is a Kiwi (we'll forgive her!) and her Pav was sensational.

I'll never top a Pav with strawberries, banana and passionfruit again. Instead it will get the "Julia" treatment. Lashings of cream, Cherries & a thick syrup made from the juice of the cherries. Fabulous!
