Oh hi,
I am posting this "preview post" because I am so excited to make this. Those of you with the PLENTY cookbook may have seen it before (I wrote it down from the copy located at one of my nannying houses while my "charge" insisted she wanted to play dolls by herself and "relax a minute"). And I found it online to reproduce here:

You may notice this dish is naturally gf/df!!!!!! My dream, right here. Photo of my actual attempt to make it coming soon.
Has anyone else made this?
ps. Come on, where is the picture of the almond torte already!!!!
I MADE THIS!
ReplyDeleteIt was delicious. I didn't take pictures, because frankly the other blog post looked a lot better. I did include roasted eggplant and some plain yogurt!
Only thing that is confusing is that the linked recipe is in grams, and i have a baking scale but seriously how am I supposed to weigh grams?! So I found another version of the recipe which includes peaked egg whites and is more friendly to those of us residing in the US:

ALSO molly dolly i want to say that the almond torte is NOT gluten free but only includes like half a cup of flour and i personally believe could be quite easily converted, so i want to strongly request that liza, owner of the cookbook, post this recipe! I also made it again as a going away cake and it had chocolate ganache as a middle layer and whipped cream as an outer frosting. It was good, but the slices were VERY big (too big i dare say, also because they were following a large pizza dinner) and we all agreed that it would have been much improved by vanilla ice cream. I also personally think that something like fresh raspberry preserves or roasted pears as a middle filling or topping would be quite delicious.
so there you have it! a whole blog post disguised as a comment.
