    Loved this! It's light and airy and so yummy! I didn't have cream of tarter, so I just omitted it, but it still turned out great.

    I have been making this recipe for years... it is wonderful. I use kiwi, strawberrys and pomagranite. The red seeds make the pavlova look like a wreath.

    Excellent recipe! The meringue is nice and marshmallow-like. I added a little bit of lemon zest and vanilla in the whipped cream, which was a nice touch. For the fruits, I used kiwis, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, pineapple, and mango. For our dinner party, we had 4 desserts and this one (and the tiramisu had the best compliments from the guests.

    Turned out pretty nice but didn't taste quite like a true Pavlova. It should end up with a marshmallow-like center and it's slightly drier. Alton Brown's recipe is spot on but much more time consuming and difficult. This version is simpler and tastes great! I added a tsp of cocoa powder and balsamic instead of the raspberry/red wine vinegar. Great flavor, especially with the strawberries!

    I love this recipe. I tend not to cook dessert very often (mainly because I'll eat it. This Pavlova, however, is so fun to make & so delicious that I just have to make it every so often. I have found that it is especially yummy after sitting in the refrigerator overnight. It does not ever go uneaten in our household.

    I made this dessert twice over Christmas; once at my parents' house and the second time at my husband's family's house. Both times, the dessert was enjoyed by all and even the kids asked for seconds!!! It's super light and if you use light cream, it's even healthier. Note: If you use light cream, you must use cream of tarter as it won't whip up on its own.

    I've used this recipe for many years, ever since it first aired. I've made it every year for christmas, because my kids, and my nieces and nephews request it every year. I must admit, I dig into them myself. I make small personal size ones because they like to have their own little cake. Thanks for introducing me to this holiday tradition.

    Everytime I make this recipe, I get marriage proposals (from married men!. I love Gale Gand's recipes and this one was no different. So easy to make. I love to play around with what ever fresh fruit I can find at the market. I agree with the other reviewer that even if you had just one fruit, it would still be delicious. If you've never had Pavlova before, you might read this recipe and think, "I don't get it, how can it be so yummy when it's just meringue and whipped cream?" Just do yourself a favor and try and it and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. The flavor reminds me of clotted cream and fruit on a scone.
