Pavlova didn't seem to mention a husband at all, and Dandre seemed to have mentioned their marriage only after Pavlova died. <br /><br />Dandre was, according to what you read, a minor aristocrat, an embezzler, a good accompanist or a brilliant manager of all Pavlova's world tours.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-26149956445025146622013-07-05T09:29:52.716+10:002013-07-05T09:29:52.716+10:00Thanks for the lecture.

But the look is sensational and the taste is sublime. So the trick is to serve pav only on very special occasions.<br /><br />Once Australian and New Zealand women stopped making their own pavs, Pavlova Shops popped up in every city and large town. They sell you the meringue case and you fill it with double cream, strawberries and passionfruit etc etcHelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-50754478959911301342012-12-20T09:20:37.673+11:002012-12-20T09:20:37.673+11:00In matters of food - pavlova being an excellent ex...In matters of food - pavlova being an excellent example! - I am more of a gourmand than an intellectual.

Hope you have no more health problems.<br /><br />There have been entire PhD theses dedicated to food dishes named after important people eg Eggs Benedict or Caesar Salad. I suppose the interesting questions for us are:<br />1. Do people know who the original namees were?<br />2. Do we still use the same names for dishes today? And,<br />3. Do these original names still have the same value today. As you said, poor old chicken Tetrazzini may not. Earl Grey tea certainly does, ditto Lobster Newberg.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-9170516546155914192012-12-19T01:24:56.347+11:002012-12-19T01:24:56.347+11:00Hello Hels, Sorry it took so long to respond to t...Hello Hels, Sorry it took so long to respond to this. I have been under the weather and not thinking of food.<br /><br />It is interesting to consider dishes named after celebrities. With pêche Melba, the case is the opposite of Pavlova--the artist was Australian, and the dessert invented in Europe.<br /><br />Luisa Tetrazzini was also honored by a chef, but in the end did not come off as well as the other two. Pavlovas and Melbas are always delicious, but chicken Tetrazzini unfortunately became associated with the lowest level of institutional food.<br />--Road to ParnassusParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-53462755176726088992012-12-16T14:25:24.822+11:002012-12-16T14:25:24.822+11:00My next post (18/12/2012) will be about art during...My next post (18/12/2012) will be about art during the Spanish Civil War 1936-9.

Picasso designed for Parade in 1917 and four more ballets in the next 10 years.<br /><br />2.

Then Sarah Bernhardt’s trip in 1891 emptied the NSW Parliament and caused wild scenes at Redfern station. The Weintraub Syncopators came to Australia in the 1930s. Even the Vienna Boys Choir came.<br /><br />I have no idea why they came, but I know they were rapturously welcomed here.
