Pavlova is a meringue-based summer dessert named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. It is a type of dessert associated with French and Italian cuisines (made from egg whites and sugar) with a crisp crust and soft insides. It is usually topped with fruit and whipped cream. To keep your meringue from being flat and grainy, try beating egg whites until stiff but not dry. Over-beaten egg whites lose volume and deflate when folded into other ingredients. Also, some prefer their Pavlovas crispy while others like them slightly chewy on the inside.
Chicken is the most common type of poultry across the world and is mostly loved by all. Adding vegetables to it brings out new flavors. Chicken is a good source of protein, and aids in weight loss and cholesterol control. Our chicken pinwheels combine taste with health in the most appetizing way.
This week’s healthy smoothie recipe is the perfect way to cool off in the summer when there are plenty of cantaloupes available in the market. Cantaloupe is also known as muskmelon, mush melon, rock melon and Persian melon. It is a good source of fiber, potassium, vitamin C and has a wide variety of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients.
