Who doesn ’ t love a bit of berry picking in the summer ? It ’ s a great afternoon out and so good to bring all that luscious fruit home , ready for a recipe , or just for munching .
We are very lucky to live in Sussex with fruit picking farms aplenty . One of my favourite family pictures is the children sitting on our front doorstep – couldn ’ t even get them in the house without them nibbling on the contents of their strawberry and raspberry punnets from our local fruit picking fields . Big red lips and fingers all round !

Here ’ s my recipe , which I have adapted from one I have used a lot from the marvel that is Good Housekeeping . All their recipes are just fabulous and used by many chefs as a basis for their own versions .
My roulade has been made many times in the SK house , always a favourite – well , you can ’ t go wrong with chocolate , cream and fruit really can you ? Especially with in season British berries . They ’ re just delicious .
