Strawberry pavlova roll
This incredibly easy dessert is a favourite among the young and the old - fresh, local strawberries, fresh cream and soft marshmallowy meringue. The best part is you can cover up any little breakages with icing sugar so it doesn’t need to be perfect. Get the Preca sisters recipe here.
