Cooking adventures

Currently having another go at making a meringue roll (a rolled up pavolva). I've followed the recipe pretty much exactly, so I'm hoping it will work. I love cooking nice things on my days off, no casseroles! (or anything else with boiled veg!) I've got berries to go with it, the recipe says to whip cream and mascapone together for the middle, but mascapone is expensive, so I'm trying ricotta instead. They are both cheese's so it shouldn't make too much difference.
