Jessica Benseman Makes a Pav



Ladies and Gentleman, boys and girls may I have your attention please?..attention please. Hm! Hm!

Thank you.

Step right up, step right up, come closer  as you wont believe your eyes. Within this post lies something you've never experienced.....never seen before, heard of before, felt before.  Something of ultimate relevance  something newsworthy, something wildly entertaining. Today is a grand day, yes, Today is an exciting day...of discovery, grandeur, and prestige. Today, my friends, Today...you have the honor, nay,  the privilege to see something legendary. Creation at it's finest, the miraculous simplicity of a great tradition, the epic ingenuity of the Kiwi woman in it's purest form.

Ladies and Genteman, today, Jessica Bensemann, South Islander and office-mate extraordinaire will attempt what only the bravest of ladies would dare to...... a Pavlova!

Yes! The great Pav! So grand it was created to impress the most impressive, the principal artist of the Imperial Russian Ballet herself, Miss Anna Pavlova! With it's simple elegance, you may think it is just a dessert! But things aren't always what they seem. Behind the shimmer and the lights there is a mystery, there is debate as to the origin of this cream covered meringue as vast and wide-spreading as the Tasman sea itself! It is no simple feat, it is precise, it is science and tradition...there are delicate secrets passed down from generation to generation that you and I are not aware of....until now.

But I should warn you, certainly you should be aware, well, I should say that this is not just a dessert for the every day eating. No, kind mams and sirs, this is no feat for the weak or faint of heart. This is...the pavlova.

Enjoy!
