Here it is: The total escalation of oriental pleasure decadence. Originally, the original Pavlova comes from Australia or New Zealand (here the countries argue about the origin) and was named after the Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova. Anna won the hearts of the audience with her performance and apparently inspired the chefs as well. What does this have to do with Lebanese cuisine? Pavlovas are sugary sweet and beautiful – and the Lebanese are absolute sweethearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But is pavlova called pavlova in Lebanon? I did a test with my mum and told her what recipe I was planning next. “Please what? What’s that? Are you doing politics now?”. I don’t know how she came up with politics, honestly. I told her about the components: A base of fluffy meringue, a layer of whipped cream on top and an escalation of fruit, nuts and chocolate on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We just call it meringue! We don’t call it pavlova.”
Bam! Why give something a name when you can just name everything the same. That’s so typically Arabic … on the one hand, there are a million ways to say “I love you”: My eyesight, my soul, you starlight in my eyeball … But when it comes to differentiating species: M\u00f6\u00f6\u00f6p! Birds are apparently all just called “bird” here – except for the birds you can eat, of course. How do you think I reacted to the song “All the birds are already here” in kindergarten … A revelation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorry, I’m rambling. My “Petit Pavlova” comes with a hint of cardamom and rose water in the meringue. And on top there’s whipped cream, pistachios, fresh fruit and chocolate.

\"Pavlova
Of course, it also works without chocolate and looks just as beautiful.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
