"Oh is it really an 'Australian classic (from Perth, in fact)'? Wrong. The Pavlova is a New Zealand Classic (from Wellington, in fact). It's about as Australian as the haka, Crowded House, and Phar Lap (i.e. "not very"). Keith Money, a biographer of Anna Pavlova, wrote that a New Zealand chef in a hotel in Wellington, New Zealand, created the dish when Pavlova visited there in 1926 on her world tour. The claim that it was an Australian invention states that the pavlova is based on a cake baked by Bert Sachse at the Esplanade Hotel in Perth on October 3, 1935, significantly later than the New Zealand claim. Te Papa, New Zealand's new national museum in Wellington, celebrated its first birthday in February 1999 with the creation of the world's largest pavlova, named "Pavzilla", cut by the Prime Minister of New Zealand of the time, Jenny Shipley.
