We’ll explore three unique recipes:
- Flourless Chocolate Torte with Poached Pears:This Flourless Chocolate Torte reimagines a classic through plant based technique. The structure and texture come from the precise balance between the whipped egg replacer, melted chocolate, and a touch of almond meal, resulting in a smooth, mousse like interior with a delicate cake crumb on the outside. Baked gently in a water bath for even setting and paired with white wine poached pears, it delivers depth, lightness, and contrast in every bite.

You’ll learn how to create a sponge that’s incredibly moist and tender and completely gluten-free and egg-free, yet rich with natural sweetness and depth. The balance of dates, buckwheat and molasses, gives a warm, complex flavor, while a silky miso whisky caramel ties it all together. This recipe teaches you how gentle steaming, smart ingredient pairing, and an understanding of structure can transform a humble batter into something truly exceptional.
- Cranberry Orange Cardamom Polenta Cake: Bright, spiced, and festive, this gluten-free Polenta Cake captures the warmth of the holidays in every bite. Inspired by the classic syrup soaked Italian polenta cakes, it’s reimagined with the tartness of cranberries, the citrus lift of orange, and the aromatic depth of cardamom. Moist, fragrant, and full of texture, this recipe explores how syrup infusion and balanced spice can elevate a simple gluten-free batter into a show-stopping centrepiece. Perfect with tea, coffee, or as a light dessert.
