Dearest John, I've been struggling wiith swiss rols all my life. I've tried those fancy channels, with classical music in the background, followed them to the letter and... disaster. Then I came accros your channel and this particular video and the result was fabulous! Perfection. I am sooo happy. The taste AND the appearance were fantastic. Thank you so very much! I trust your recipes 100%.

This man is the real deal; such a knowlegable and creative man. Thank you John. I can imagine the great life I hope you had. Lots of new tricks in this recipe, like premolding and the wonderful way you released that delicate cake. If I was 50 years younger, I'd love to have a B & B and serve my guests all your simple but comforting delicious recipes. I can picture this one set on a well laid table for afternoon tea.

I’ve never made a swiss roll before and I decided to make one for my boyfriend’s birthday, and after searching for the perfect recipe I found these! Thank you so much, this recipe is perfect and the only one I’ll use from now one! It was perfect! :) I’ll be sure to trust you with many recipes from now on!

Here in the states it's common in autumn to have a pumpkin roll with a cream cheese filling. 😋 I'm sure the same method would work.

[elsiehodges]

Beautifully clear and precise. One of the clearest recipes I've heard. I will be making this with the grandsons for Christmas with chocolate buttercream on.

My 4year old and I made it last night and it’s just brilliant- it came exactly as on the video above - perfectly sponged and airily .... I’m just amazed how easy and smooth the process turned out thanks to being perfectly explained above and will have it a go with the other videos on the channel.
Thank you very much for the excellent video!
Keep posting

Dear John, I've just made the chocolate swiss roll, It is a delicious treat and the recipe is easy to follow. However, I've changed the cream filling slightly by adding half milk and half bitter chocolate instead of white chocolate, a bit of ricotta cheese and cherry brandy, Kirsch. It's become really decadent. I will try the vanilla and Jam one next time. Thanks for this great channel, easy to follow instructions and recipes.

Your vidoes show that cooking and baking isn't really as complicated as we think. Thank you for showing us the easy way of doing things.

As an apprentice chef I love watching your videos, the amount Im learning is truly makes a difference. Would love to see more on tempering chocolate

[ellenlowe]

John this is great! I tried making a Swiss roll last week for a competition but it cracked a lot when I rolled it up, plus it was too big. I am going to try yours this weekend, I'm sure it will be fine. I love all your videos, so helpful and your voice is wonderful! The French baguettes were superb!

[dianejordan]

Thank you so much for such a detailed, precise instructional video. Been looking for a proper recipe for so long😇

I live in a countryside rural town of Brazil's Rio de Janeiro State where only occasionally local supermarkets will sell whipping cream (we use canned cream below 30% fat content or card box 17-20% fat cream with some thickener gum). SO I have always done my French chocolate mousse using meringue and a Sabayon done by whipping egg yolks and sugar (I like to add some Port Wine) over a Bain Marie! - So, thank you very much for teaching a much better way of making a Sabayon, I do have a Kitchen thermometer including a sugar syrup one that I have never used for some reason. Thanks again! - Genoises are Portugal's national cake (aka "Pão-de-Ló") and every town has its own recipe!
