This roulade was a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more sauce next time.

I'm not a big fan of roulades, but this one changed my mind. The combination of flavors was perfect and the texture was light and fluffy.

This roulade was a bit more work than I expected, but it was worth it. The end result was stunning and tasted even better than it looked.
