The Very Best of Mary Berry’s Shortbread
I’ve been on a bit of a baking slump at the moment, like a huge one. I have no idea why – I just haven’t felt like baking very much. But the Great British Bake Off started again and, in true GBBO style, it inspired me to start baking again. Don’t get me wrong, I … Continue reading
