LEMONY ALMOND NOUGAT
This sticky Italian specialty, also known as torrone, has a light lemony bite, a honeyed sweetness, and a marshmallow-like smoothness that's the perfect backdrop to the crunch of toasted almonds. Get the packaging how-to for the Lemony Almond Nougat.

Steps:
- Place 1 piece of rice paper on a 9-by-13-inch rimmed (quarter) baking sheet.
- Combine sugar, honey, corn syrup, and water in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves and mixture just begins to simmer, about 10 minutes. Cook, undisturbed, until mixture registers 300 to 305 degrees on a candy thermometer, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile (when syrup reaches 270 degrees), whisk whites with a mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. When hot sugar mixture is ready, pour it into whites in a slow, steady stream. Whisk until mixture cools and thickens, about 10 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low, and add vanilla, almonds, lemon zest, and salt. Working quickly, spread mixture evenly on rice paper. Place remaining piece of rice paper on top, pressing to flatten. Let cool on a wire rack. Once cool, cover nougat with plastic wrap, and let dry for at least 2 days or up to 1 week.
- Run a knife around edges of sheet to loosen nougat, and invert nougat onto a cutting board. Trim each edge to straighten. Cut crosswise into 3/4-inch-wide slices. (Dip knife in water between each cut.) Cut each slice into 1 1/2-inch-long pieces. Wrap each piece in cellophane.
LEMON & ALMOND SLICES
These gluten free slices of zesty lemon goodness really are hard to resist. They're light, tangy and the perfect accompaniment to a nice cup of tea. To make the lemon topping you'll need to use a brand of coconut milk that doesn't contain emulsifiers (guar gum, carrageenan, methyl cellulose, corn starch, sodium or potassium metabisulfate) as these are chemical additives which cause the fatty and watery layers to stop separating from one another, so you won't be able to achieve the thick creamy consistency required. Optional toppings: lemon slices, chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds, lemon zest

Steps:
- Place the cashews in a bowl of boiling water and leave to rest for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 170C/340°F.
- Place the ground almonds and coconut sugar in a large bowl and mix well. Add in the maple syrup and melted coconut oil and stir until a dough is formed. You should be able to roll the mixture into a ball, if you find the mixture too dry or crumbly add a little bit more coconut oil.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the dough inside it, pressing it firmly until you have an even layer spread across the bottom of the tray (We used a small glass to roll it out evenly).
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until it starts to brown, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
- Drain the water from the cashews and place in a blender with the coconut cream (the hardened cream from the top of a can of coconut milk), honey, lemon zest, lemon juice and arrowroot starch. Pulse until fully combined. Taste the mixture, it should taste really creamy and with a tangy lemon flavour. If you need to add more lemon juice, add it now.
- Place the mixture on top of the almond base and put back in the oven for a further 15 minutes.
- Leave out to cool for 15 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
- Top with lemon slices, chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds and lemon zest to serve.

ALMOND AND HONEY NOUGAT
This makes a creamy, chewy nougat. It gets better the more times you make it - I get requests for this one quite often. It makes enough to take some to a party and have some left at home! The recipe comes from the Weekend Australian magazine, Oct 2005. Read through the recipe first and have everything measured out before you begin. It is advisable to use a candy thermometer to ensure the correct temperature has been reached. The rice paper can usually be bought at a cake decorating shop. The syrup will take longer to reach 150 than the honey will to reach 135.
