I grew up eating some incredible traditional European cooking and as a consequence, there’s nothing more divine to me than European shortbread. From the delicate German variety my babysitter taught us to cook to the heavy Greek Kourabiedes my Godparents family would serve at every important occasion such as Christenings, Christmas and anniversaries, this really [...]
