    Mexican cheeses add authenticity to Cinco de Mayo celebrations May 1, 2013 12:00 AM
    It wasn't that long ago that if you wanted to make authentic Mexican quesadillas you needed to head to an ethnic grocer to track down chihuahua cheese. Or you punted and used cheddar, or maybe mozzarella. People just weren't familiar with Mexican cheese. Today, Hispanic-style cheeses are made throughout Mexico and in the United States and share space in the diary case with American, English and European varieties, making it much easier to add authenticity to your Cinco de Mayo menu.

    The Pavlova — a baked meringue confection typically filled with whipped cream and berries — is not a Russian dessert, as its name suggests, but a concoction born in Australia or New Zealand and named after a Russian ballerina. The name honors Anna Pavlova (1881-1931), who is still considered one of the finest classical dancers in history. Nigella Lawson shares her cappuccino-spiked version.
