Hi Lindsey
I would like to make the LEMON GRIESTORTE, however, I have Coeliac Disease so am wondering if I could replace the semolina with fine polenta. If not, what would you suggest.
Thanking you in advance for your advice
Kindest regards
Lindsay

Hello Lindsay,

We tested the Griestorte with fine polenta when all the cakes in ‘Delia’s Cakes’ book were tested if they could be made gluten-free simply by swapping out the ‘gluten’ ingredients. 

Unfortunately, we did not think the gluten-free Griestorte was good enough. 

So, I’m sorry but we would say no!
