Wood is a Christchurch-based art writer with an interest in social history. Utrecht is visiting from her home in Queensland, where she left her media production job to pursue the pavlova. I must have looked through 20, newspapers and at least 10, cookbooks and I am not joking. She has test-driven so many recipes and had so many yolk mishaps that her most failsafe method is simply cracking the whole egg into a glass and fishing out the yolk with her fingers. She understood her brand and she was every bit aware of that power.
I often do things now and think, 'is that how Anna would have done it'? The pair, who call their research team Doc and the Frock, met over Facebook. A mutual friend claimed Annabel Langbein as one of their favourite Australian food writers. Wood said, "you're trying to claim her, just like the pav". Within weeks, they were both down the rabbit hole of research, following strands of meringue dishes through the centuries. It had always been thought Australian and New Zealand housewives added new amounts of cornflour to the basic meringue recipe to create the pavlova.
However, the pair found a corn starch company, William Duryea's maizena, that first came out in America in This maizena, or corn starch, was imported to New Zealand in the s and came with a pavlova-type recipe. Both countries have different approaches, I think the Australian meringue is crunchier and the classic topping is cream and passionfruit.
The New Zealand one is more marshmallowy inside with cream and slices of kiwifruit. The further back they researched, the more they found. US-based food scholar Darra Goldstein became fascinated with pavlova after her daughter moved to Australia in , and later New Zealand, and she began collecting cookbooks from both countries.

But after they started digging deeper, they were surprised to find that the history of the pavlova goes back a lot further. Originally, they planned to make a short documentary, but when they realised the pavlova story was much bigger than just a trans-Tasman battle, they decided to write a book, which has the working title Beat Until Stiff: The Secret History of the Pavlova and a Social History of Meringue Desserts.

Soon, she said, women in middle-class European kitchens began creating meringue cakes topped with whipped cream, nuts and fruit or fruit preserves. Utrecht said Europe was in turmoil with the Napoleonic wars in the s and when people moved and settled in other lands, the pavlova-like desserts went with them. But the next pavlovas that came out of New Zealand by around to were single-level cakes topped with fruit and cream.
