- To assemble: Spoon a dollop of cream in the centre of a plate of your choice. Make a slight well in the centre of the cream and add a spoonful of macerated berries. Place the pavlova on top to finish. We dust the Pavlova with a little dried raspberry powder, icing sugar works just as well.

Roy says: ‘Late Spring is by far the most exciting time of the year for all kitchens. The colourful change in produce and the distinct aromas fill the air that summer is fast approaching. The first of the seasons strawberries make their way from France, followed by the start of the British season.
‘We love the berries from Blacketyside Farmhouse in Leven. Grown with great care and attention.’
