We had our New Zealand meal the last weekend in June. Katherine is whipping egg whites for pavlova, which a Kiwi at Habitat told us is the quintessential New Zealand dessert. Maybe it was the humidity, but our pavlova didn't get nice high peaks.
Pavlova is a baked meringue, and it takes a long time to cook. So we turned our attention to lunch. On Saturdays I like to go to the farmers' market early and create a veggie feast at lunch with whatever I've found. This meal included cucumbers, tomatoes, blueberries, sweet corn, and "fried" okra -- sliced and rolled in a little cornmeal, then cooked briefly in a little olive oil. Yum!
Our main dish for the New Zealand meal is bacon and egg pie. Katherine wanted to take the photo of us instead of the other way around, for a change.
Our pavlova, covered in whipped cream and decorated with slices of kiwi. It may not have been very high, but it tasted very good.
