Which side of the Tasman did it really come from? Australians are always quick to claim the origin of anything great from our part of the world, but to solve the mystery of the pavlova's beginnings, there is cold, hard evidence that proves pavlova was first made in New Zealand.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The first reference to the pav can be found in Keith Money's biography of the Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova, the first ballerina to tour ballet around the world. In 1926, on the New Zealand leg of her world tour, a chef at a Wellington hotel created the masterpiece dessert for her. The white meringue and fresh cream was modelled to look like the ballerina's tutu and it is rumoured that it was one of the reasons she returned for her encore in 1929.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Many Australians have claimed that it was the Herbie Bert Sachse who fashioned the pud from his imagination in the kitchen of the Esplanade Hotel in Perth. The trouble is, that was a few years too late, in 1935. And it wasn't really until the 1940s when pavlovas started showing up in Australian cookbooks.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>If you still need more proof, it comes from the reputable Oxford Dictionary, declaring the first recorded recipe of pavlova was published in 1927 in New Zealand.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So next time a spoonful of pavlova is melting in your mouth, think of lush green bush, pristine rivers, lakes and mountains, not red dust and rocks - it's how it was meant to be!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img src="anna-pavlova-dessert.jpg" width="300" height="416" alt="Anna Pavlova Dessert" /></p> <font size="1;">Anna Pavlova in The Dying Swan, in an outfit that inspired the meringue and cream of the pavlova.</font> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </td> </tr> </table> <h6>SPREAD THE GOOD WORD!</h6> <a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Check out MarkTanner.com: World-first Nile paddler, Viking treasure hunter, midwinter Canada cyclist and current China resident" target="_blank"><img src="../art/twitter-icon.png" alt="Tweet it" hspace="3" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http://www.marktanner.com" onclick="return fbs_click()" target="_blank"><img src="../art/facebook-icon.png" alt="Share on Facebook" hspace="3" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://www.marktanner.com" target="_blank"><img src="../art/delicious-icon.png" alt="delicious" hspace="3" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://www.marktanner.com" target="_blank"><img src="../art/stumble-upon-icon.png" border="0" alt="Stumble Upon" hspace="3" /></a> <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=www.marktanner.com&title=Mark%20Tanner:%20Adventurer,%20Writer%20and%20Amateur%20Beatboxer&source=http://marktanner.com+&summary=World-first%20Nile%20paddler,%20Viking%20treasure%20hunter,%20midwinter%20Canada%20cyclist%20and%20current%20China%20resident" target="_blank"><img src="../art/linked-in-icon.png" alt="Linked In" hspace="3" border="0" /></a> <br /> </p> <p></p> </div> </div> <div id="Menu"> <ul id="MarkMenu" class="MenuBarHorizontal"> <li><a href="../myself.htm">Myself</a> </li> <li><a href="../travels.php" class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">Travels</a> <ul> <li><a href="/niletrip/aboutnile.html">The Nile</a></li> <li><a href="/blog">China</a></li> <li><a href="/bike/biketrip.html">Canadian Bike Treak</a></li> <li><a href="/treasure/thestory.html">Viking Treasure</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="../curios.htm">Curios</a> <ul> <li><a href="../sudan-recipes">Sudanese Recipes</a></li> <li><a href="../beatbox.html">Beat Box</a></li> <li><a href="../ratty.html">The Rat</a></li> <li><a href="../family-history.html">Family History</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="../contact.htm">Contact</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="Left_Column"> <p><a href="../sudan-recipes"><img src="../Sudan-Recipes.jpg" width="75" height="75" title="Delicious Recipes from the heart of Sudan" /></a></p> <p><a href="/niletrip/aboutnile.html"><img src="../Nile-Adventure-button.jpg" width="75" height="75" title="Dodging crocodiles and terrorists for 5,000 miles of paddling through NE Africa" longdesc="Dodging crocodiles, terrorists, armed bandits as we paddled 5,000kms over five months from the source of the Blue Nile to the Mediterranean Sea" /></a></p> <p><a href="/blog"><img src="../China-Adventure-button.jpg" width="75" height="75" title="Our Chinese adventure" longdesc="Follow Ellen and me as we bumble our way along living in the world's most populous country" /></a></p> <p><a href="/bike/biketrip.html"><img src="../Canada-Bike-Trek-button.jpg" alt="" width="75" height="75" title="The Great Canadian Bike Trek" longdesc="My solo 8,000km solo bike trek across Canada in the middle of winter" /></a></p> <p><a href="/treasure/thestory.html"><img src="../Viking-Treasure.jpg" width="75" height="75" title="All about the search for ancient Viking treasure in the hills of Iceland" /></a></p> <p><a href="../beatbox.html"><img src="../Beat-Box-Tile.jpg" width="75" height="75" title="My Beat Box Greatest Hits" /></a></p> <p><a href="../wedding.html"><img src="../Wedding-Tile.jpg" width="75" height="75" title="Our Big Wedding Day" /></a></p> <p><a href="../the-nile-song-lyrics-pink-floyd.html"><img src="../The-Nile-Song-Lyrics-Tile.jpg" width="75" height="75" title="The Nile Song Lyrics" /></a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </div> <div id="Main_Content"> <div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Recipe"> <span itemprop="name"><h1>Pavlova Recipes</h1></span> <h6>From <span itemprop="author">Mrs. Tanner, my mum</span>.</h6> <p>&nbsp;</p> <time itemprop="publishDate" datetime="2011-06-04"></time> <p>Mmmm, pavlova.
