Lemon Polenta Cake
I absolutely love this cake, its ridiculously simple to make and really packs a lemon punch, stays moist for days and never fails. Tip – This can be made gluten free by either omitting the baking powder (and whisking exuberantly at the last step) or using a gluten free variety. Extra tip – I sprinkled…

If all the nut advice is driving you nuts, I advise to keep a stash of raw nuts/seeds – and familiarise yourself with a handful of recipes incorporating them. Be creative about when…
