Nadiya's chewy, almond and raspberry amaretti have a fresh raspberry hidden in the middle. They make a lovely gift, but are best eaten straight away.

These gorgeous chewy, chocolate coated florentines make a beautiful gift, if you can bear to part with them!

Traditionally they have one side covered in chocolate, but that doesn’t agree with me – where am I supposed to hold it without getting melted chocolate all over my fingers? So I like to half dip. No messy fingers and I get to taste the florentines in two different ways. 

Ginger and almond florentines

softened,

grams/1¾oz brown sugar

grams/1¾oz plain flour

75 grams/2¾oz crystallised ginger, finely chopped

grams/1¾oz almonds

orange, zest only

chocolate

65 grams/2½oz white chocolate

For this rhubarb-infused gin you will need to use bright pink, early forced rhubarb and allow at least 1 week after making before drinking. This gives the gin a beautiful pink colour and fresh, sweet rhubarb flavour. Add a few slices of fresh ginger, ½ vanilla pod or perhaps a star anise or a few strips blood orange zest if you want a more aromatic flavour.
