Pavlova with Lemon & Passionfruit Curd

Pavlova with Lemon & Passionfruit Curd

If I were asked to rank my top three desserts, pavlova would be number one, followed by tiramisu and crème brûlée. Pavlova is the perfect dessert for the spring and summer because it is light while still being decadent. There is simply nothing better than 

Nine Days in Paris

Nine Days in Paris

Growing up, Paris is one of those cities that you see all the time in the movies. Movies, shows and social media paint a beautiful image of the city, so it’s pretty surreal when you actually arrive there and see it for yourself. It’s kind of like
