For the finale for our cosy night in meal, we decided to serve Orange Polenta Cake from Ottolenghi, the Cookbook. This was to honor Yotam Ottolenghi’s new column in the New York Times that’s all about desserts and as Ottolenghi groupies it was only fitting.

I know that I’ve been quiet for quite a while. I let work overtake everything — which is a pathetic excuse but the truth. But as this pandemic continues, I am trying to intentionally create/seek out joy and hope and this blog is that for me. So until I can share my table with you…

To complete our spring meal that included burrata and pea crostini and Mediterranean short ribs with polenta, I decided on a Victoria Sponge Cake with Blackberries and Lavender Cream. This was of course an homage to The Great British Baking Show, but I added an Australian twist! More on that in a bit.
