Summary: Celebrate longer and sunnier days with this risotto. Feel free to include any spring vegetables and herbs locally available to you.
The secret technique here is not to boil, overcook or even steam the vegetables, but simply braise them. This way, you retain the vibrant colour, crunchiness and all the fresh tastes so characteristic of spring vegetables. That's what makes this spring vegetable risotto utterly delicious and so special !

Summary: Legend has it that a long, long time ago, a young woman was madly in love with a Persian Prince, so she baked him a cake filled with magical love powers to make him fall in love with her. In one version of the tale, the cake works its magic and the Prince returns her love, but in another, he doesn't Either way, the Persian Love Cake is a symbol of undying love, with enchanting flavours of rosewater, cardamom and saffron. Perfect as a Valentine's Day celebratory cake, the Persian Love Cake has also become a popular choice for wedding cakes.
This is our take on the Persian Love Cake: first, we make it gluten-free by using a combination of ground almonds and ground pistachios with no flour at all, secondly we incorporate orange juice and zest into the cake, and finally, to make the cake just that little bit healthier, we skip the icing, and make a cake drizzle that has no added sugar, as the cake is sweet and lovely enough. The result is a moist, nutty, fruity, floral, enchanting, magical cake, fit for charming any Prince (or Princess).
