Greetings Nicolas - try adding a pinch of cream of tartar, or a small tsp vinegar to the mix. It makes the egg stiffer so it doesn't flattern so much and stops weeping

How does such a young man become so elegant beyond your years ? Your videos have such a calming affect on me . You show us how all the many little things in daily life can be slowed down to where they can truly be enjoyed .

Another amazing dinner party! Coffee cups to hold the potatoes was awesome! I will miss your videos sooo much but of course you deserve a much needed break! Looking forward to your return!

Well deserved break from what???

[@dona62851]

Never water potted plants from the top. Rather,fill the sink with water and sut the pot in the water. It will then soak up the water encouraging the roots to grow down.

LOVE the idea of paying a book forward!! The idea of having those who read it write their name inside is genius! I’ll miss your videos but certainly understand needing a break from KZbin. Wishing you all the best, Nicholas! ❤️

Hello Nicholas! I looked with pleasure at your pudding, and with what love you set the table in the garden. I am delighted with your imagination, modesty, friendliness, as well as thriftiness, self-discipline, grace and beauty of your voice. Thank you Mr Fairford!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

Let’s face it, so many people have come to love you and your content Nicolas! It is a highlight of every week, for me pal.

Have fun, and THANK YOU for all the joy you bring to this world, via your platform. ❌⭕️❌⭕️

May I add to all the lovely comments here, and wish you well for a break-and how wonderful to attend a loved family members wedding! Sophie is delightful as always. I am having a huge clear-out and clean up at home. It is hard work, but so rewarding. Best wishes❤️

[@rom_talan1115]

💫Nicolas ... I just discovered you two weeks ago, and have now watched every posted episode, and I am the better for it. Ironically, you mentioned Ina Garten in one ep ... and I have watched every episode of every one of her television episodes because she brings me calm, sanity, quiet confidence. I get that exact same response to your posts, and I thank you. I make these comments here because this of your episodes is one of my favorites. The garden meal ... and the advide to multitask whatever we have ... spot on. I am very glad you are here. 💛

Nicolas a tip for your flowers,cut the stems under water in the sink or basin ,they come to life and will last longer much much longer,especially roses or any other flowers.

[@mamakk1464]

I would love to share the book . . . The first strawberry Pavlova I ever tasted - 1974 on a New Orleans trip with my aunt and grandmother. Thanks for the memory!

[@judithropata2269]

Dear Nicolas - you are a rare soul - I don't think you know how many people you uplift with your charming persona & beautiful videos - we will miss you - but this break is much needed for you - we will miss you while you are away - hurry back - much love.

[@virginiaboone8163]

Hi, Nicholas! Meringue was used extensively in the American South for sweet treats. I don’t see it as often these days. When I was a child and went to the ocean to visit my Aunt Catherine, she would bake individual meringues with chopped pecans, pack them in an air-tight tin, and give them to me to enjoy on the long trip back home. My mother made meringue shells and would fill them with vanilla icecream and home made chocolate sauce and sometimes use strawberries instead ( as you did in the video ). Of course we also used meringue as the topper for lemon, chocolate and coconut cream pies. Thank you for bringing back these memories. I think I will make meringue shells this week!

[@dainasworldnumbers88]

Yummy! I love Meringue!

All the best Nicolas! A well-earned break for sure. Enjoy your time with family, too. I've always tried to be a "pay it forward" person with books I don't plan to keep as well. Your idea of writing one's name before passing it on is very creative. I love it!

Oh my, how do I begin to tell you the elegance and grace offered in your videos. The soft exhibit in preparing a dinner to laying of the table, quietly, always quietly calms for the entire day into the night. And always wonderful advice....use what you have. I only have two flowered bowls that have been in my cupboard for some time now. Too pretty to use? Nonsense! Tonight I'll have a friend over for strawberry dessert and think if you... Peace and Tranquility, dear friend.

Look after you ! We'll be here when you're ready xxx

[@clivejames5058]

Delicious. I always add a tsp of white wine vinegar to my pavs. It stabilises the egg whites but also helps to make the texture crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside.

[@martiseelye6443]

Pavlova, so simple yet so elegant. And it's delicious too! Your garden and table were lovely, as always, Nicholas. We will miss you, of course, but look forward to hearing about your lovely holiday. Have a wonderful time! See you when you get home.

[@Amy-hs1qe]

When I lived in Australia I recall them considering pavlova their national dessert. An off-set spatula is one of the most helpful (and inexpensive) kitchen tools and would help with spreading the meringue (sp?) and cream. We all need breaks - have a good one.

[@tommoncrieff1154]

Australians claim to have invented the Pavlova in 1935 (documented) and New Zealanders around 1928 (undocumented), they fight over this! However, many types of large meringue cakes existed in Europe in the 1700s and what is now called Pavlova was common in German speaking countries in the early 1800s and then in France, U.K. and USA by 1850-60. What differs is the fruit - the English usually used strawberries. By 1911 there were hundreds of dishes named after Anna Pavlova, most of which don’t survive, this is the one where the name stuck. German academics have actually written a huge tome on the history of this dessert! They must have had fun researching it!

[@Amy-hs1qe]

wow - fully impressed with your knowledge

[@stevietv321]
