Real pavs don’t come from packets

Is this an indictment on the cooking skills of a nation or just an enterprising company spotting a gap in the market which it’s filled with Pavlova Magic?

Edmonds Pavlova Magic is a dessert mix product that takes the frustration out of pav making . . . 

Frustration, what frustration?

A friend’s mother gave me her pavlova recipe years ago, it’s easy to follow and the result is delicious – a crisp shell with  marshmallow inside.

I’ve made scores of them since then and only once had a failure which was my fault, not the recipe’s.

Having found the recipe for the perfect pavlova I’ve become very picky about any others so I won’t be tempted by this product.

Magic or not, in my kitchen real pavs don’t come from packets.

    mrs pdm is a pav maker supreme (most times) and you all thought I married her for her money and her looks.
