“British Food Fortnight allows us to thank those who value flavour and variety over profit margins and uniformity, and a chance to sample, to delight in, the beauty of properly produced food. We are on the cusp of a new golden age for British food, and its future is in our hands. ”
Tom Parker Bowles

Pavlova

Jimmy Hill, Football commentator

My Grandmother was given this recipe by a Jehovah's witness in 1935. It is an all-in-one pavlova which no one ever believes could work, but has not failed yet.

3 egg whites, 8 oz caster sugar, 3 tablespoons of warm water, 3 teaspoons cornflower
1-teaspoon vanilla, 1 teaspoon of vinegar

Put into a bowl and beat until stiff. Put on a baking dish with baking parchment and squidge into shape. Bake at 120°C for 2 hours.
