A holiday wreath ‘Pavlova’

Make Steve’s super easy delicious dessert from 'The Happy in a Hurry' cookbook.

I was speaking during a commercial break on "Fox & Friends" one day with my Fox News boss Lachlan Murdoch. We were talking about the idea behind our "Happy Cookbook" series. I was saying that there are some foods that automatically make people feel happy.

When I asked Lachlan what his was when he was growing up in Australia, he paused for less than a second and said, "I loved Pavlova!"

I immediately nodded in approval, despite having no idea what it was.

Lachlan went on and described it as a crispy meringue topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit and I figured out exactly what he was describing— our friend Madeleine Van Duren made it all the time.

I didn’t know it was called a Pavlova. She got the recipe from her aunt who ran a restaurant in Ireland, and this was her specialty.

This holiday wreath design is just one of several shapes we suggest in our cookbook, you can also create a heart on Valentine’s Day or a simple delicious circle for any time of the year.
