As an aussie I can definitely confirm that the pav is from NZ, but then most Aussies claim lots of NZ things as our own (there's even an ad on tv atm about us trying to claim their Prime Minister lol)
The egg whites looked like they were over beaten and then what you showed of the adding of the sugar doesn’t seem right as normally you add it in small amounts while beating the egg whites so the sugar dissolves. However the great thing about a pav is once it is all decorated up they look incredible and the combination just taste awesome. I hope you have Dunedin on your itinerary.
Ah, Pavlova. As a child my mom would make them multiple times every summer with local strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. My favorite dessert ever. Another great vlog!
I would have added the sugar in small increments as you're beating the egg whites. This allows the sugar to fully dissolve, making a more silky texture as well as giving the meringue more structure. I think the baking temperature was off because it was too dark on the outside, but was still oozing at the sides (sign of under-baking). I'm certain it tasted amazing regardless so 10/10 :) Camper van roadtrip HYPE!
We'll definitely make it again and will try mixing the sugar in more gradually. Thanks for the tip 👌We can't wait for the campervan roadtrip to start!! Should be out in the next day or two 🎉🚐
JT agree with your explanation. Aussies don't make pavs like that. We use the mixer for the whole thing. We believe the oozing is the sugar not disolved into the egg whites. The eggs were beaten way too much if using the mixer to mix the sugar in in small quantities. The eggs just have to be foaming, then add the sugar, TSP at a time. My wife is a pro baker. Happy baking.
Thanks, Nick! Considering it was our first go, an 8 might as well be a 10 in our book. 😂ps, we're also huge fans of your videos! You always make us want to get outside of our comfort zones 👌
You both did great bodyboarding!!! It's easier than surfing, but still takes timing, coordination and fearlessness. Especially when holding a camera...good job! The Pavlova looked great, too. I've been a huge fan of Thomas and Sheena for quite a while, so seeing them with you was such a treat. Awesome video, guys!
My favorite clips are those slow-mo shots of water sports. 😆 Also, that whole kitchen scene looked gorgeous and the pavlova... amazing! You should do more cooking segments with recipes. 👩🍳🥝 New Zealand is now on the top of my list!
Glad you enjoyed it, Jeammy! We usually never have the right cooking materials in our Airbnbs/hotels, so we were extra happy to be staying with friends who have a great kitchen. Definitely hope to make cooking more of a habit 🍽
Omg that was such a fun day of eating guys! Loved getting to hang out with you at the bach and that pav was 😋 Awesome edit! It’s brilliant getting to see our home through other people’s eyes ❤️🙌 Miss you two 😘 Sheena x
Loved seeing you with your friends -chasing a plate! Subscribed to their channel while you were making pavlova. The pavlova turned out beautifully! Your camping journeys are amazing ! Glad you finally got the chance to experience a camping vehicle When we were young , we always traveled in a camper! Enjoy ! Keep the food vlogs coming Safe travels Ps. Hi to Ashely and Josh
We'll be harsh kiwis and give it a 7/10 for the visuals (no doubt it's a 10/10 on taste) 😉 Love Thomas and Sheena, they've provided some epic food inspiration for our travels throughout South East Asia. P.S. loving the NZ vids, making us really mis home!!!
Very much enjoying your New Zealand trip it looks like your having a great time and learning a special skill pavlova is practically the most important thing for a kiwi or a Aussie to know how to do! Love to you both from Tennessee
Glad you are getting to enjoy our hot summer guys...btw, the nets over the blueberries are to protect them from the birds, if you decide to go strawberry picking it is something to watch out for, if there are no nets it means they spray it with anti-bird spray which while ok, is not the best. Great video!
There are slightly different techniques on baking a pavlova depending if you want a soft pav or a pav with crunchy sides. I always mix my caster sugar and vanilla in slowly while mixing - you get a 7/10 from me. Passion fruit pulp on the top with Kiwi fruit and fresh berries and beaten cream - yum
Another Fantastic video! Pavlova is a favourite dessert here in Australia too! Well done making it! Can’t wait for more great NZ videos! I might head to your patreon page!
Wow, thanks so much, Chuck! It was definitely one of our favorite types of days - delicious foods, hanging out with friends and doing some sort of adventurous activity 👌
Hwy guys welcome to New Zealand. Other desert I recommend you try is steamed pudding with custard. That is another kiwi favourite. I just finished watching the video of you guys in Auckland where you tried hangi. To me it didn't look the greatest so I highly recommend when heading south from the bay of islands stop in at a place called Kiwi Kai in Whangarei. They have amazing hangi, boil up, lamb shanks, seafood chowder, creamed paua, raw fish, mussel fritters and of course fry bread. It is a must stop place when we're passing through. Have fun, stay safe and enjoy your holiday.
Ok, this video is the closest I will get to being in the ocean and doing what you just did. Looks like fun. I just subscribed, found you today. You guys are fun!! 💙
My nana and Mum used to add the sugar gradually in the mixer. You know it’s done when the batter is white and glossy. Also we used to have the oven at 160degC for about 45mins. Then leave turn the oven off. The higher temp will avoid the runny sugar you had. But that’s still delicious.
and, always ensure that your egg's are at full room temperature. If you live in a cold house, make sure the eggs are around 20C or 68F or just over....... otherwise the project will be a fail. It is usually not in the recipe as we are all expected to know this!!! And yes to your comment..... beat 'til it is glossy and holds a peak when you take the whisk or a spoon out. But their Pavlova did seem to turn out very well.
Pavlova is my mums signature dish (I’m from the U.K.) She has made it for decades and tried all kinds of flavours, including hazelnut pavlova! 😋 We travelled around New Zealand for a month for our honeymoon and it was fabulous!! Have fun and keep up the awesome vlogs.
The meringue is easy, take that mixture put it several bowls. add food coloring to your wishes, put in zip lock baggies. cut small hole pipe spirals the size of small cookies. bake same. wonderful treats good for easter or christmas. cant be too humid though or they dont work right.
Nice Pavlov 🍰 I make mine slightly differently by adding sugar is slowing whilst whisking egg whites, then spread it thinner and bake for 1 hour. This gives a lovely chewy texture xx
Boogie boarding brings back memories! Can’t wait for you guys to try a camper van! You are going to love it! Hopefully this makes you guys want to join the RV community :)
Best pavlova has cream, strawberries, banana and passionfruit... mmmmm.. to die for.. will still argue that its an aussie invention first before our siblings over the pond
you should try making the uncooked pavlova too it's just as good and a lot lighter. That being your first attempt it's worth an 8 out of 10 but like so many have said before me, put your sugar in when your beating the egg whites and in small increments, you'll find it will turn out better. Nice going.
Anna Pavlova a Russian ballerina started her world tour in NZ in 1926 or 1927, next she went to Australia. Due to the internet not working, news of the new cake/dessert made in her honour in NZ, didn't reach Australia for some time.
Make sure to check out Abel Tasman National Park at the top of the South Island. Hire a kayak and explore the golden beaches. I recommend plenty of sunscreen as NZ sun is strong.
Haha, thanks Lenaire! Hopefully I'll get the sugar mixed a bit better next time, but I don't think the texture or flavor could have been any better 🤤And omg, the south island is AMAZING!!!
That pav definitely gets a 9/10 - great effort guys! Did you know you can also now make pav vegan - using water from chickpeas instead of eggs! Vegan kiwis rejoice :) Glad you're having so much fun in NZ! (although, again, you're flipping hilarious in the water/waves!)
As an aussie I can definitely confirm that the pav is from NZ, but then most Aussies claim lots of NZ things as our own (there's even an ad on tv atm about us trying to claim their Prime Minister lol)
Finally someone
Finally an aussie that agrees
But yous can take our pm I dont like jacinda
NZ's PM would have to be an improvement on our Scomo.
Well Jacinda is a better PM than Scott Morrison

Thanks! Love the mixed berry topping idea - definitely gonna try that next time 🍓

Loving these New Zealand vlogs! It actually looks as good as I've always hoped it was.
New Zealand is amazing! And we haven't even gotten to the south island in the videos yet - just wait for the food and views down there! 😍
Love that you are enjoying our Beautiful Country 💖
As a kiwi, I give that Pav a solid 8/10, well done guys ;)
Thanks, Nick! Considering it was our first go, an 8 might as well be a 10 in our book. 😂ps, we're also huge fans of your videos! You always make us want to get outside of our comfort zones 👌
Aw thanks guys, that means a lot coming from you!

Never seen pavlova made like that before. I usually add the sugar gradually to the stiff egg whites, whisking at the same time so the sugar dissolves
Such a special, peaceful, happy day!! Loved watching this one and living vicariously from snow-filled Montreal.
Glad we could give you a little sunshine in the snow! We really enjoyed our time with Sheena and Thomas, super happy it came through in the video 😊

It was such a fun day! We loved staying with Sheena and Thomas - they were the best hosts and chefs! :D
wait what!!! real Fruit Ice Cream!! I want it :)))))) looks so so good
Travel With Mansoureh it is
All berry Farms in New Zealand sell it

Loved my time in NZ - this coming from someone who lived in Hawaii! South Island has the mountains and snow!
Omg that was such a fun day of eating guys! Loved getting to hang out with you at the bach and that pav was 😋 Awesome edit! It’s brilliant getting to see our home through other people’s eyes ❤️🙌 Miss you two 😘 Sheena x
Oh man, we miss you guys and the beach house already! Let's have a reunion asap, please 🙌
The Endless Adventure YEEEEESSSSSSSS 🙌
I always enjoy desserts when it is mixed with fruits
Loved seeing you with your friends -chasing a plate!
Subscribed to their channel while you were making pavlova. The pavlova turned out beautifully!
Your camping journeys are amazing !
Glad you finally got the chance to experience a camping vehicle
When we were young , we always traveled in a camper! Enjoy !
Keep the food vlogs coming
Safe travels
Ps. Hi to Ashely and Josh
Okay New Zealand climbs my top 10 must go places with every video y'all give us.
Yes you MUST go! It's been on my list for 20+ years and I finally made it here. It is soooooo beautiful!
Aw omgosh
The pavlova was amazing Allison, well done; they are difficult to make. Gorgeous country, never been but looks amazing there 🥰
We'll be harsh kiwis and give it a 7/10 for the visuals (no doubt it's a 10/10 on taste) 😉 Love Thomas and Sheena, they've provided some epic food inspiration for our travels throughout South East Asia. P.S. loving the NZ vids, making us really mis home!!!

Thanks, Roy! So glad you're loving NZ as much as we are 😊
Grew up eating at that blueberry ice cream place. Absolutely amazing
Glad you are getting to enjoy our hot summer guys...btw, the nets over the blueberries are to protect them from the birds, if you decide to go strawberry picking it is something to watch out for, if there are no nets it means they spray it with anti-bird spray which while ok, is not the best.

Pav looked great.. I love the chewy part inside more than the crunchy outside crust.

That Pavlova dessert looks really good. Hello Thomas and Sheena. You did a great job in helping make the Pavlova
Some superyummy foods today.... Now you made me deside to get a froyo with lots of fruits tomorrow. Looking forward to it👍
Such a delicious decision. We definitely support it 🍦
Another Fantastic video! Pavlova is a favourite dessert here in Australia too! Well done making it! Can’t wait for more great NZ videos! I might head to your patreon page!
Proud of you, Eric! Greetings from NYC!
Another great vid. I just checked out chasing the plate and I subscribed. Everything looks sooo good.
Awesome! We think you'll be deliciously happy with that choice :)
This might be your best vlog of all time! As good as you have been, this is light-years better. I hope that you get new followers to reflect it.
Wow, thanks so much, Chuck! It was definitely one of our favorite types of days - delicious foods, hanging out with friends and doing some sort of adventurous activity 👌

Love Pavlova. She did fantastic.
Awesome Pavlova.. Looks Yummy and a great first time attempt at baking a pav.. ✌️🤟
Wow, you did a great job with that pavlova. It looks so yummy!

That all poked amazing! I make meringue cookies! I look that crunchy melt in your mouth! Now I'm going to have to try and make this!
New Zealand made the first ever Pavlova hands down 🤗🤗🤗
I usually have pav with strawberries and raspberries!! your pav looks great!
Nice Pavlov 🍰 I make mine slightly differently by adding sugar is slowing whilst whisking egg whites, then spread it thinner and bake for 1 hour. This gives a lovely chewy texture xx
That hand gesture never gets old...
🤙🤙🤙
Perfect pav!! They are so easy to fail but you guys did great!! 10/10
Those location title cards THO! 👌
💁🏻♂️thanks!
Such a fun vlog!❣
Boogie boarding brings back memories!
Can’t wait for you guys to try a camper van! You are going to love it! Hopefully this makes you guys want to join the RV community :)
Looks luscious! Not how I've ever made a pav but hey, different recipes for different folks. 8/10
Cream of tarTER, not tarTAR, Eric! Lol. too funny. Love these videos!
Allison, I love your humour!
Such a fun, relaxed video. You both look so rested and happy! And Allison your hair is gorgeous here! 💞 Thank you for sharing!😃
With baking paper it's possible to use a spring form cake tin to make a pavlova look like a cake, and not a cow patty
Awesome video the 6 of you together an swimming an food what could be better!!
I'm from NZ and the Pavlova looked delicious
Really enjoying your New Zealand adventures!
When you commented on how hot it was and came out with those cornets, I was thinking, don't talk, eat them before they melt. The pavlova looked yummy!
For a first try that pav is on point. Turned out way better than the 1st time I made it. Haha great work
That ice cream looks delicious. Loved your body boarding skills. Not an expert on Pavlova, it looked delicious and pretty fun to watch it being made.
Glad you enjoyed the day, Rebecca! Fun adventures and delicious food always makes us happy travelers :)
It's so cute that Eric calls Alison kid 😄
I attemped a pavolva a couple of times. They are so delicious. Enjoy your trip. So far it has been fantastic.
Looks pretty good to me would be cool to see you guys make a steam pudding.
Best pavlova has cream, strawberries, banana and passionfruit... mmmmm.. to die for.. will still argue that its an aussie invention first before our siblings over the pond
I love real fruit ice cream 😍
That pavlova looked yummy.
10 for effort and a solid 9 for execution. O for awesome.
You guys have to come to Dunedin while you're in NZ and check out the farmers market and foodie scene
Pav looks fab, as a kiwi it's a christmas/ summer classic 8/10
you should try making the uncooked pavlova too it's just as good and a lot lighter. That being your first attempt it's worth an 8 out of 10 but like so many have said before me, put your sugar in when your beating the egg whites and in small increments, you'll find it will turn out better. Nice going.
I never actually knew Pavlova was a Kiwi dish... Also those kitchen things look very retro style, very cool

Kia Ora! Pav looks awesome 10/10 ❤️
This takes me to pleasure town!
as a nz person XD im glad to see people enjoying our country and i rate the pav 100/10
I lived in Australia for a year...had pavlova multiple times...that one looks like a solid 10! Yummy!
This kiwi gives your pavlova a 10 out of 10!
O for orsum...its a kiwi saying 😉 Ur gana love the south island...the west coast is beautiful!
Haha, thanks Lenaire! Hopefully I'll get the sugar mixed a bit better next time, but I don't think the texture or flavor could have been any better 🤤And omg, the south island is AMAZING!!!
The Endless Adventure Yay 🙌
Looking forward to your next vid 😊
I scream for joy seeing someone licking a tasty ice cream
100/100 I'll give for your first time making a pav and well done ❤👍
That pav definitely gets a 9/10 - great effort guys! Did you know you can also now make pav vegan - using water from chickpeas instead of eggs! Vegan kiwis rejoice :) Glad you're having so much fun in NZ! (although, again, you're flipping hilarious in the water/waves!)
9/10 for characteristic, 10/10 for tastability.
Remember when you guys first started out? Eric had that Spider-Man 3 haircut and Allison was out here like a quiet Mary Jane lol
What Auckland Pavalova travesty is this? In Wellington mix the sugar into the mixture till the sugar is incorporated.
Last few seconds y’all talk about how you’ve always wanted to do an RV or campervan. How cool is it that you’re doing that now??
Are you coming to Paraparaumu because i live there and i rate the pavlova a 10 out of 10
Pav is a kiwi fav 😍 spesh at Xmas time! As long as it tastes good dosnt matter how it looks 👍🏻
Yum..yum yum..I'm kiwi.. Nice job peeps..
Not a bad first effort on the pav
Kiwi Here in Christchurch - Nice Pav guys. Top Job
That was good photography Eric while you were body surfing! Really enjoyed the video.
I Hope u enjoyed the ice cream it’s my favourite!
For your first attempt on the pav a 9 out of 10 good on you
it's a 10, for sure!
Pavlova looks amazing but what did you do with all the yolks?
Wish you guys can visit where I'm from, it's a small island called Tokelau it's small but it's home! I will die if I see your next adventure there 😂🖤
Try passionfruit and strawberries yummy with shaved chocolate yeeeah
Pavlova log is like a chocolate log.
Does anyone know what month they were in NZ?
Where are Allison’s sunglasses from in the Scotland Highaland Games video? I need them in my life!
