I love to work with intuition. When talking about food I often have certain taste in my mind what I would like to eat and of course when I'm cooking I try to reach that.

But have to admit I don't always get there, haha. Today I wanted to make some strong flavors with little twist of something that is new to us.

As I'm on gluten free and dairy free diet and I love to eat Pavlova and I'm not the only one as you can see and you might find a recipe from here also. It's very simple. Sweet merinque and fresh berries with touch of melissa and sugar water. As you know you need only sugar and eggs to get the best merinque. Some almonds or pistachios goes well together with merinque. They roast nicely on top of the merinque. Heavenly taste.

I found these beautiful plates from Sweden. We made a one week long flea market and antique trip to Sweden two years ago. It was great fun and I have to admit I loved it! Beautiful country with many treasures. I guess these plates are quite common in Sweden but to me they are still treasures.
