Pavlova is an elegant dessert named for the ballerina Anna Pavlova, with the meringue base meant to resemble a tutu. You can top the Pavlova with a variety of things, including caramel, ice cream, bananas, fruit compote and chocolate curls, but this elegant dessert is perfect to showcase fresh and juicy summer fruits
It was an ordinary Tuesday afternoon in Jozi with the winter sun shining down on what was once the Randburg waterfront – Brightwater Commons, home to the SABC3 Top Chef studio.

Berry choc-chunk ice cream is perfect as a Valentine’s treat, but that’s not to say it’s any less delicious on another day. Jam is wonderful swirled into ice cream!

The first one I taste is dark chocolate with a center that is firmer than I had expected but that melts on my tongue in seconds. The second one is raspberry, the ganache retaining the roughness and texture of the fruit. The almond paste is stronger in this one, nuttier; blended together with the raspberry, it tastes of autumn. The last macaron is passion fruit. I know the shells are unflavored, but it tastes as though the…
