If you've never had a pavlova, a delicious dessert made with meringue, whipped cream, and fresh fruit, you've got to make one this weekend. Seriously, this is one special dessert! I've recently introduced it to my parents and friends and they were blown away by its scrumptiousness. Don't be intimidated by the meringue; it may sound fancy, but it's simply egg whites mixed with sugar. It can be made in advance, but the whipped cream and fruit is best prepared just before serving. Feel free to use your favorite combination of fruit for the topping; everything from strawberries to mangoes work wonderfully. Ready for the recipe?

Have you heard? Breakfast pizzas are all the rage — and I've got the perfect recipe for you to enjoy this delicious trend in the comforts of your own home. No fancy dough is necessary; this tart is made on a flaky puff pastry crust. The dough is partially baked before being topped with cheese, bacon, and eggs.

It may not be the healthiest of breakfasts, but it's a wonderful start to a weekend morning. Feel free to adapt the recipe to suit your personal tastes. Leave out the bacon or use pancetta instead. Have white cheddar in your fridge? That will work just fine! Serve with cranberry mimosas, and you've got a wonderful brunch that's ideal for entertaining. Get the method now!
