Luscious Lemon Slice

  

​This has a short pasrty base covered with a tart-sweet, velvety, lemon topping. It makes a delicious dessert and is a great to have with coffee. Frankly, I’ll eat this any way I can, as I’m mad about lemon in sweet things. Its sharp edge just has that brilliant way of cutting cleanly through sweet, rich flavours.  Best served on the day.

Orange and Almond Cake

​This cake is special. It is made up of almond meal and polenta, and is therefore also gluten free. The cake has a great texture from the polenta, which gives it a slight crunch.

The orange slices on top of the cake are  thinly sliced and then poached until soft and sweet. Toasted almonds are scattered on top to give a  contransting crunch.
