A Drama Queen's Pavlova
Australians and New Zealanders both claim Pavlova and this recipe is so easy it feels like cheating! I first had it when a friend brought it to our final dress rehearsal and begged her for the recipe! It is especially striking when the fruits and berries are in season. Personally, I like to add coconut for the crunch, but it's NOT sweetened coconut – it's unsweetened, in big flakes, and I get it from the fruit and nut guy at our commissary. It's a real crowd pleaser and the best thing about it is you can make it a day ahead. Just allow the meringue to fully cool and cover lightly with plastic wrap. Top with whipped cream and fruit just prior to serving.
Thai Spice Sweet Tea
This Thai spice sweet tea is lighter, more refreshing, and less sweet than traditional Thai iced tea. Red rooibos and black tea steep with cardamom, star anise, cloves, and cinnamon. Topped with coconut milk, there's no better drink to serve with spicy food.
Caramel Frosting
This caramel frosting is delicious. I have had this recipe for over 30 years. This smooth, sweet topping is perfect for cakes, pumpkin cupcakes, or apple fritters.
