I’m not a cook or baker but absolutely will try these. But what I’m really interested in is your shortbread!! I would kill for great shortbread. Martha Stewart did an extensive spread on shortbread in her mag a few years ago and the plain recipe was great. I’ve lost it.

I know what it is about recipes (my mother collected thousands) — they are the female version of patents. Most women want to be the keeper of something fantastic and the envy of all the other females. Sexist? Sure, and indisputable. (Of course, there’s the Soup Nazi, nothing female about him.)

The only thing I’m proud of is my guacamole, my own invention, and I’ve shared it with plenty of people, mostly co-workers. I agree we can’t have enough good food in the world.
