Well I just cannot believe it has been almost 2 years since I have posted anything to my Cooking Blog, and my other personal Blogs as well. I have had numerous committments which have prevented me from staying in touch through my Cooking Blog "Platter Chatter With Patricia", and my fond hope is for me to start posting regularly now again with some exciting recipes, food articles, cookbook reviews, and other items to enhance your appetite. I desperately need to tidy up my right hand panel on this page with some refreshing new links for you to enjoy. I will also be doing the same on my other Blogs so it may mean that my site will be somewhat be under a new construction phase, however there is still plenty to see nonetheless. I have added some new cookbooks to my library so you may want to have a look at those. They are ones that have been sitting in my collection for a while, but over the weekend I retrieved them to have a whole new look at them again with the hopes of inspiring some special new recipes. Have a look through the right hand panel as there is still a lot to see and for you to enjoy. Please make note that today I added a link about The History of The Pavlova. Over the Christmas Holidays my husband made one and it was so scrumptious I had to have a hand in making one myself 2 weeks later. It too was out of this world. A Pavlova may not be known to some people outside New Zealand or Australia, so hop on over to the panel to the link where you will find the History of the Pavlova. This week I will be posting my personal Pavlova recipe...I do think you will enjoy it very much. Also I had been speaking to my dear sister in Michigan (I live in New Zealand by the way) over the holidays and we were having a good chat about Pavlovas. Well Gayle had never made one before and I kept telling her that she just has to make one for her son-in-law who hails from New Zealand. The Pavlova basically being a New Zealand recipe, I felt it would be a great Christmas Holiday surprise to spring on her daughter and her husband. Anyway the upshot of it was that she wound up finding a pavlova recipe that was a chocolate one....virtually unheard of here in New Zealand. She wound up making it for her family and it was loved by all, so now I will have to try the chocolate one myself. Who knows I might be introducing a new version of the pavlova in New Zealand. So I thought the perfect thing to start the New Year would be to post my first recipe for the New Year: The Pavlova. I will plan on posting it tomorrow as I would like to spend several hours today in tidying up my Food Blog so you will have much more to enjoy when you pop on over for a visit.
In the meantime, keep those whisks shiny and may you have at least one chicken in the pot!
Sincerely,
Patti
