Hi there
My question is about Delia's amazing parsnip Christmas roulade. I've made this a couple of times and it's delicious! Anyway, the thing is, I can never get the nuts to stick to the roulade - they just fall off. Have you got any tips, please? As I can't get that to work, I normally end up just sprinkling the nuts on the soft, cut side so that at least they're included for the taste, but it'd be great if I could it get them to stick as they're meant to.
By the way, I asked you a question a while ago about a problem I have making the Christmas veggie sausage rolls and I followed your advice and they've turned out great so thank you! The only thing is, I find it hard to roll the filling that small and thin so I end up with fewer, bigger sausage rolls. If you have any tips there too I'd be grateful!
Best wishes

Hello Anoushka,
For the nuts, I don’t think it was intended that they stick fast but if you do want them to do that you could sprinkle the surface of the roulade with chopped (probably not toasted!) hazelnuts before you bake the roulade.
For the vegetarian sausage rolls, when I roll the cheese filling I pinch the mixture from the center to the ends then roll it. Then I repeat the process until I get the length I need.
Kind regards
Lindsey
Hi Lindsey
This isn't a question; I am emailing to say I have you asked you quite a few questions and I'd like to thank you for you really helpful answers.
Very best wishes and, when it comes, a very happy Christmas.
