Get cracking and put your pav skills to the test

Caster sugar: check. Egg whites: ditto. Elbow grease: of course. You’ve almost got all you need to enter the fourth annual Nosh Pavlova competition.

And with the weekend ahead, it’s a great time to get your recipe sussed before email entries close at 12 noon on Monday (Dec. 3).

Nosh has also announced the judges for the competition – see below for the hardened pavlova pros you’ll need to impress in your area.
