Day #12 Beetroot, spinach and soft cheese tart. this feels like a dish for Spring, he kind of thing you could serve for brunch or lunch in the sunshine. The base is gluten free and is a mix of buckwheat and rice flours, ground almonds and polenta. You can play around with the filling and [...]

This is a great afternoon snack but I adore it as a comforting breakfast, it tastes naughty but it's not, I promise! The best way to enjoy it is thickly sliced and toasted - then [...]
