Strawberry Pavlova cake

May 9, 2019 By travellingoven 4 Comments

I’m really enjoying the strawberry season and eating them almost every day, mostly fresh or in smoothies for breakfast (like this Strawberry banana smoothie) or as a special little treat in the form of Strawberry banana ice cream. But I had a cake on my mind these days and thought what better combination than light and fluffy Pavlova with sweet juicy strawberries! That is a cake that is great for any occasion and even if it’s simple to make, it has that wow effect and you can be sure that your family/guests/yourself will love it, specially if they like strawberries and who doesn’t, right?!  🙂

I don’t eat this kind of desserts often. Those of you who are here with me for a longer time know already that I’m more a ‘healthier treats kind of girl’ but that doesn’t mean that occasionally I don’t like to indulge in something a bit more decadent like a luscious chocolate cake or Pavlova with whipped cream and strawberries. And when I do oh I make sure to truly enjoy every single bite, the little things in life are everything!

Some of you, specially those who follow me on my social media pages (Facebook @travellingoven and Instagram @lili.basic), have noticed that my work went into direction of photography but I definitely still want to keep posting here as my blog is so important to me. There will be still some recipes from time to time, hopefully some more travel stories and I’m also planning to start writing some different kind of posts that I hope will be interesting to you. Photography is of course the main part of the whole story but I do enjoy writing too and sharing this little corner of Internet with you dear people. I would love to know what would you want to see more of here on Travelling oven? It is always so helpful to get your feedback, messages and comments! Also, don’t forget to subscribe to blog so you don’t miss out on any news and content that I will be sharing in the future…

Here are some photos from Plitvice lakes to wish y Here are some photos from Plitvice lakes to wish you all a good week! ☺️❄️❄️❄️ If you (like myself) are getting really tired of all this pandemic situation and limitations it has put on our life and freedom, try just focusing on today, taking it one step at a time and look for comfort and hope in nature whenever you can. It has always been my wish to live closer to nature and now I'm longing for it more than ever before...

The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mo The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mostly spent doing admin stuff and buying groceries (my fridge was totally empty!) and for breaks I did yoga and re-edited some older photos. So here’s one of them from beautiful winter @plitvicelakesnp, hope you like it...🦆❄️

After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come for me to return to Zagreb. Besides the pandemic reality, in these weeks we had horrible earthquake in Croatia that took lives, destroyed homes and left the whole country in the state of shock. On a personal level we had to face death in the family due to Covid and if somebody tells me ever again that 'they would have died anyway because they were old" I will really lose it!! My little niece and nephew lost their grandmother and we all lost a person we loved. So, it was and still is a difficult time but life taught me many times before that we are stronger than we think and that the most important thing is to find peace within yourself. I still wake up every morning grateful for life, for my people, for photography, for all the little things that make life beautiful. And I dream about all the good things that will come our way... 
Sending you my love and positive thoughts and sharing these not so typical Dubrovnik photos.❤️

I know it's not the most colourful and bright phot I know it's not the most colourful and bright photo for this occasion but it represents what this year has been like for me personally. Difficult, lonely, at times very dark but at the same time with its sweet moments that I get to keep forever in my heart, beauty found in 'ordinary' and sparkles of light that give hope and comfort. I wish that 2021 will bring more freedom, health and happiness for all of us! Thank you for being here with me... ❤️

My favourite moments in these last two days since My favourite moments in these last two days since I came to Dubrovnik are baking ‘orahnjaca’ (Croatian) or ‘potica’ (Slovenian), traditional walnut cake with my mum, harvesting mandarins in our garden with my dad, soaking up the sun that I missed so much after about a month of dark and gloomy days, reading a book on the terrace and stopping every few moments to just look at the sea... All the little things that bring me much needed calm and joy. Hope you are all well and finding your little moments too...☺️❤️

I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are few details from the Swiss Alps, a place I called home few years ago... It’s so strange, I am from Dubrovnik, born by the sea and of course I love it but I would choose mountains and forests anytime! It's where my soul is at peace and happiest.☺️❄️How about you?

Drinking hot chocolate and eating gingerbread cook Drinking hot chocolate and eating gingerbread cookies like I don't have a worry on my mind! Yeah right...😅
By the way, only when I started editing I noticed that the bubbles in my hot chocolate formed a shape of heart too. That's kind of sweet..☺️ So I'm sending some love to all of you too! ❤️

Comfort food is just the best! I have few that ins Comfort food is just the best! I have few that instantly make me feel better like semolina porridge or spaghetti with fresh tomatoes and basil... Crepes with apricot jam are high up on that list too! 😉 I'm curious, what is your favourite comfort food?

Story behind this image: because of all the festive photos on social media these days, I felt pressured to create some in Christmas mood too. But nothing was going as I imagined and I simply was not feeling it. So I decided to put all that away and create something that reflects more of me and what and how I feel at the moment. So this is one of the images from that series. In the end what matters the most is that we create from our heart.✨
