Yeah, frozen puff pastry is a go-to ingredient. You just won’t catch me making it by hand because as my grandmother used to say, bugger that for a game of soldiers.

My kid’s 18 and thinks he’s a fucking loser.

Croissants. Tasty and pretty, but a ridiculous amount of fiddly work with all the rolling and folding.

Ditto puff pastry from scratch.

Pavlova is almost boringly simple, though.

Beat eggwhites and sugar for ages with a little vinegar along the way, dump onto a parchment lined baking sheet, bake - then turn off the oven, leave the door open a crack and leave a few hours to slowly cool.

Instead of making a big intricate arrangement with the fruit, go rustic with it - bowl of sugared berries, bowl of whipped cream, dollop of each on each slice.
