Perusing the signature dishes, I happened upon one of my favorites,
Pavlova. I have made individual small Pavlovas before, but your recipe
describes one large cake. How do you serve it/slice it and not make it
look like a pile of rubble?

sharp knife to cut portions, cake slice or a wide spatula-knife to
lift them.

Looks like the secret is all in the baking. You have to get the right temp.

I for one have never seen individual pavs baked at home. It's always been
the 'family' size and there has never been a problem with it looking like a
'pile of rubble'.
