    Pavlova.

    Working in the kitchen requires good coordination and an intuition I will never have in my current setting because it’s not the form of intuition I was raised on. The ability to cook to precision without everything spelled out comes off to me as almost psychic, and I don’t have that. So I will never be making myself my favorite dish.

      Pavlova is almost boringly simple, though.

      Beat eggwhites and sugar for ages with a little vinegar along the way, dump onto a parchment lined baking sheet, bake - then turn off the oven, leave the door open a crack and leave a few hours to slowly cool.

      Instead of making a big intricate arrangement with the fruit, go rustic with it - bowl of sugared berries, bowl of whipped cream, dollop of each on each slice.
