Pavlova is a meringue-based dessert named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, who toured Australia and New Zealand in the 1920s. It is characterized by a crisp crust and a soft, light interior, typically topped with fruit and whipped cream. The dessert has been a subject of a long-standing culinary dispute between Australia and New Zealand, with both countries claiming its origin. The first known recipe was published in New Zealand in 1929. Despite the debate over its origins, this gluten-free dessert has become a staple in both Australian and New Zealand cuisines, often served at festive occasions and celebrations.
