A roulade is a dish made by rolling a flat piece of food around a filling. It can be sweet or savory, with common examples including chocolate or fruit for desserts and meat or vegetables for main courses. The rolled dish is often sliced into rounds for serving, showcasing the filling inside. In cooking, the term "roulade" can also refer to a technique where a thin layer of cake or pasta is filled, rolled, and then baked or cooked. This method creates a visually appealing presentation and allows for a variety of flavors and textures in each bite.
