Meringue Magic

My friend George is the Queen of Meringue and so I asked him to share his recipe, which I tried today.

Ingredients
4 egg whites
250g caster sugar
1.5 tsp cornflour
1.5 tsp white wine vinegar

Preheat the oven at 160C and whisk the egg whites until stiff. Then add the sugar, 1 tsp at a time while whisking constantly. Mix the cornflour and vinegar together in a bowl and whisk into the mix. Cut greaseproof paper into a round of about 40 cm across and place on a baking sheet. Spoon the mixture shaped into a round, build the side higher than the centre. Put it into the oven and reduce the heat to 150C
bake for an hour until firm, then turn off the oven. Leave the Pavlova in there until the oven is cool.
Best to make this in the morning and leave it in the oven until needed.

Whisk some cream to pile on top and scatter some of your favourite fruits like raspberry or strawberry.

Today I'm experimenting with some stewed apricot. Delicious!

I Am Only Human After All film premiere

Portsmouth Film Society (PFS) continues to deliver on its mission to help break down social barriers and unite diverse cultures with the premieres of four short films on 30 May at the New Theatre Royal, Portsmouth. Portsmouth citizens from all backgrounds have come together to tell their stories. Many people will be able to identify with the difficult subjects of these films; homelessness, substance misuse and recovery, disability and multiculturalism. Whether they have experience of these topics themselves, or only in passing, PFS hopes that projects like these will encourage discussion amongst their viewers. These short films are the result of a 20-week course held at the University of Portsmouth where participants were introduced to all aspects of film-making including script writing, casting, directing, filming and editing. They then became the producers, directors, screenwriters and actors in their own films. The program also included lectures by local film makers and an...

‘Southsea dinosaur’ returns

Luna Park 2021, an eagerly anticipated new public artwork for Portsmouth designed by internationally renowned artists Ivan Morison and Heather Peak of Studio Morison will be launched on 2 October 2021 on a celebratory day in Southsea Common.  The 1.4 metres bronze sculpture is a tribute to the original 53-foot high 2010 artwork Luna Park, which tragically burned down on Southsea Common. The artists will unveil a new sculpture that responds to ten years of public demand to ‘bring back the Southsea Dinosaur’.  The new public artwork will be located within a direct sightline to the position of the original Luna Park sculpture. It will sit on top of a fossil Portland stone plinth with a QR code which when scanned with a smartphone will connect to an Augmented Reality experience. People will be transported to a digital rendering of the original artwork, seemingly standing life-size in front of them on Southsea Common. Viewers will also be able to use their mobile devices to visit a...

Light the barbie!

On Friday we kicked off the weekend with drinks at the Florence Arms and listening to Fox Elipses in the background (or the other bar). But apparently his songs were depressing, so just as well that I could only hear bits. This was followed by a barbecue on Saturday. It's lovely to share a meal with friends. This time we got the timing right too, so that the food came in stages and the conversation flowing between sips of wine.
