A no-fail recipe for Pavlova. A staple at Aussie and Kiwi Christmas lunches since it was created nearly 100 years ago. It was named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, who was a megastar when she toured Australia and New Zealand in the 1920's!

Anzac biscuits with vintage typewritten recipe

Anzac biscuits are a humble and homely antipodean snack with a long and honoured history. They pay tribute to our fallen and returned servicemen and women. They also honour those who stayed behind, keeping the home fires burning. And as the story goes, supporting those on the front line with care packs of these long life, high energy snacks.

A caramel coloured slice with two layers and crumbled pistachio in the icing.

With a rather odd colour, this one surprises me that children like it - they reach for it thinking it's caramel, but are surprised by the spice-sweet ginger. It's an easy slice to make, and be sure to cut it into small portions as this is full of sugar and butter. Shoutout to IDEAS Helen who loves this slice.
