Passionate about Pavlova

Stuart Roennfeldt, Greenock, won first place at the Royal Adelaide Show this year for his homemade Pavlova.

He has been making Pavlova for the last 20 years with his mother’s recipe, which he has refined over the years through research.

Stuart said he makes the sugary dessert because, “I like eating Pavlovas. I figured if I want to eat them, then I will have to learn how to make them.”

He was surprised by the winning result but believes it was definitely a welcome victory. 

Stuart visited the Adelaide Show last year with his family where they visited the cooking section and thought it might be fun to enter the competition.

Before the Adelaide Show this year, the Roennfeldt family did a Pavlova training camp to get ready for the contest.

“We were practising making one every night for about two weeks, and by then we were sick of them,” says Stuart
