Cooking with Colm O'Gorman: Pride Pavlova

'This gorgeous celebration dessert uses fresh fruit to recreate the colours of the rainbow flag, and it tastes as good as it looks'

June is Pride month. Across the world LGBTQ people and their allies will parade, party and protest to celebrate the freedoms we have won in recent decades and to demand change where those same freedoms are still denied

The first Pride has its origins in the Stonewall Riots, a spontaneous uprising against police harassment of the LGBTQ community in Manhattan, New York. Sick of the oppression and brutality they suffered at the hands of the police, LGBTQ people fought back, and a worldwide movement was born. The events of that day, June 28, 1969, were the spark that has inspired generations of LGBTQ activists and their allies.
