Lucrezia Marinella's Non-Traditional Polenta Balls



Lucrezia Marinella liked things a bit different than what Italian patriarchal standards would have desired. This is a recipe for polenta balls that does not follow Italian tradition but will enchant you. I usually make fried balls/burgers with ingredients like oats, lentils and veggies but a friend of mine inspired me by using polenta and getting really nice results. I had no clue how that was made but just experimented a bit with what I had at home, which wasn't much: polenta and sweet potatoes.

Halberstam's Ultimate Chocolate Cake


It has come to my attention that, although busy in academia and possibly activism, Judith/Jack Halberstam enjoys their Sunday afternoons in a very British way. This means, that on a Sunday around 3pm Jack loves to have a cup of black tea with almond milk and no sugar, accompanied with a big piece of chocolate cake. Or, well, at least I would like to believe so. If this was not the case, I am totally convinced Jack would love this creation which happens to share their name: Halberstam's Ultimate Chocolate Cake.
