Deb's Pavlova

By Roxane
Recipe came via Christy but it's Deb's.  Deb must have made it at the Diamond Bell.

Servings: 8
Deb's note: Can be made the day before (up to step 4) and kept in a cool place.

3 egg whites
¾ c. sugar (super fine, if you have it)
1 t. vinegar
1 t. cornstarch
1.      Place non-stick barking parchment on a baking sheet.  Mark the back with an 8” circle using a cake pan as a guide.
2.      Preheat oven to 300ºF.  Blend vinegar with cornstarch, set aside.   In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle sugar, 1 T. at a time, beating well after each addition.  Add the vinegar mixture with the last spoonful of sugar.
3.      Spread meringue on circle on parchment, building sides up higher than the center.  Place in center of oven and reduce temperature to 275ºF.  Bake 1 hours or until pale cream in color.
4.      Turn oven off and leave pavlova to cool completely in the oven.
5.      Just before serving top pavlova with whipped cream and fresh fruit.

    I made a pavlova recently from another recipe and I was surprised it called for cornstarch. I might have even left out the cornstarch because I used cream of tartar instead of salt to stabilize the egg whites. I wonder if the cornstarch would have helped them stay dry and crisp. I should have stored them in an airtight container right away, but instead stored them in the oven overnight and they were unfortunately chewy the next day.

By Roxane
From http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2011/apr/30/beetroot-salad-stuffed-artichoke-recipes via Michelle Michelle's note: For those without a food scale, it's about 3 beets, 2 1/2 c rhubarb, 2 1/2 Tbsp sugar.  (And the molasses I had worked out, but I would love to know what pomegranate molasses is.) 800g various beetroots (or, if you can't get them, one type is fine) 300g rhubarb, cut on an angle into 2.5cm pieces 30g caster sugar 2 tsp sherry vinegar 3/4 tbsp pomegranate molasses 2 tbsp maple syrup 2 tbsp olive oil ½ tsp ground allspice (pimento) 1 small red onion, thinly sliced 20g picked parsley leaves 100g creamy gorgonzola or similar blue cheese, torn into small chunks Salt and black pepper Set the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6. Wrap the beets individually in foil and bake for 40-70 minutes, depending on size. To check, push a sharp knife through to the centre of each one -- it should be soft all the way through. Set aside to cool, then peel an...
