Some recipes become part of a family’s traditions. This Pavlova is one of ours.
It has been the centerpiece of Fourth of July celebrations, birthdays, and summer dinners for years. It’s always the dessert everyone hopes will be on the table.
When my children marry, each receives a copy of my family cookbook filled with the recipes we’ve loved most over the years. I’m excited to begin sharing some of those favorites with you here at Things of Style.


I hope this recipe becomes part of your family’s traditions the way it has been for ours. Whether you’re celebrating the Fourth of July or gathering around the table on an ordinary weekend, the memories you create will always be the sweetest part.
